This is one of the coolest places I have ever stayed, and I've slept in a hobbit hole, a treehouse, an igloo, a bomb shelter, and a covered wagon.

Great experience
Staff and property were amazing. First time in hostel type stay. Neighborhood looks discouraging when you are getting close but I never felt scared of being there. Quiet area. I’m 6’2 so pod was almost not big enough. It is hard to be quiet getting in and out of pods and for me at least it seemed to make it worse when I tried harder to be quiet. For me I was just trying to be respectful to anyone else there and that was difficult. Decent size list of rules to follow but nothing difficult or out of line for a shared space. Would book again if staying in the area.

Stayed here before a race and had a great night’s sleep! Surprisingly comfortable for a first stay in a pod. Would highly recommend for those under 5’9”, much taller and you’d be uncomfortable.
