East Downtown Micro-luxe Container Living Pod #8

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.

Stay at Container Pod 8

The stay was good. The pod was a queen sized bed taking up the whole space, but it was convenient enough to be close to the TV, the kitchenette, and the bathroom. The front door and front big window was very private and overlooked the sky. The side window (2 big windows) were not so private, and I felt I couldn't truly use that because it was overlooking the shared courtyard. I liked the bathroom. I would stay again.

Misleading

The property was listed as an apartment but was literally 12 steps from the front door to the bathroom. The room was filled with nats and when I spoke to the host they did not seem to show any concern. I would not recommend.

Great communication

I ended up not staying sure to my car breaking down before I could get to Texas, but the communication was good with the owners. I hope to book here soon and get to stay here.
