**Extra attention is paid to sanitizing this space to guard against any contagion.**

**Please be assured we prioritize and are proactive about protecting our guests' health and safety.**

It is said everyone has a purpose, this space has a re-purpose. This 8x20, 160 square foot shipping container has been re-purposed into a micro luxury apartment. Space has everything a guest needs from the best of indoor/outdoor living to super fast wifi. The environmentally friendly and artistic design with a small footprint will leave you astounded as to how much utility and flair a small space can provide. Minimalist and clean yet abundant and welcoming. The big tinted privacy sliding glass doors let in plenty of light during the day and blackout curtains provide full privacy at night. This space is ideal for the solo traveler or couple that enjoys being close.

Fyi, there is a two-foot clearance between wall and bed, the bathroom door has a two-foot clearance. There is a two-foot-wide spiral staircase to access this space.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay. The container apartment was well stocked with amenities for its size. The place was very clean. The only reason it didn’t get a 5 star was due to the air conditioner that leaked into the room. It had been doing this before we arrived based on the condition of the paint below the air conditioner and the multiple dehumidifier elements in the room. This created a slight smell. Otherwise it was great

ANAZING stay!! Great Amenities!

We stayed for 2 nights and this place was absolutely amazing! It was exactly as pictured in the listing and communication with the property manager was always quick. The check in process is super easy and they provide so many amenities in the unit. Definitely 5 star place and we would stay again.

Should have just went to a hotel

A hotel would At least allow a hour after check out, with a late check in absolutely! These people sent me a bill 280 !!! Stated I checked out at 12:06 pm the cleaning have not even arrived! These people are greedy. Better stay at a hotel coming out of the same amount of money. After they add there extras.

One day stay

We stayed at the property for less than 12 hours but everything was great. Close to downtown, but away from the business. Neighborhood seems a little run down but looks we’re deceiving and it was super quaint and quiet! Thanks!

Pics are very deceiving!!!!

A HOTEL ROOM FOR THE SAME PRICE WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER!!!! to start I was never given a gate code to get inside the front gate. I tried to reach the property manager, but the app was not working until that evening. The room was not as clean as it should have been considering how small the room was detail cleaning could have been done since checkout time is 10:30am and check-in time is 4:30 PM. You can smell the mold coming from the air conditioning… The amenities stated a cooktop there was none. But the worst part was the sliding glass doors to the patio does not lock. In my opinion, very unsafe. I will NOT Stay there again and will not recommend these pods to anyone else. You will be very disappointed as was the tenants that stayed across from us. I spoke with the property manager about somewhat of a refund to know avail only wanted to put Band-Aids on our inconvenience.. Lesson learned for sure.

Cute

First of all, the owners/ management were amazing with responding quickly and efficiently. Anytime I had a question they answered quickly. Gave a very well detailed online packet with everything you need to know, as well as places to visit. The listing is very accurate. Neighborhood was cute and quiet. Only thing I would say is bring air freshener maybe if you’re super sensitive to smells.

Disliked: Amenities, communication
We left the location after 2 minutes. There are no curtains to darken the room. The bed is too small for two (at least for us), no space for a suitcase… The responsible person there was kind and helpful and promised to pass on out critics and that at least a partial refund would be possible. But from vrbo (the one you have to message to) no good will was shown. I thought this could be a special location to sleep at. Now I‘m a bit wiser. Choose it maybe if you are on your own, but not as a couple!
