We've stayed at the Abpopa several times. The rooms are quirky but always clean and comfortable. The location is unbeatable. Countless restaurants, bars and shopping opportunities within a block or two. Management is very attentive and goes out of their way to make sure you have everything you need for a great stay.

It was good overall but I did not like how the layout was in single rooms and rooms with two floors. Bed was too high and hit my head on the ceiling a couple times.

Bathroom was a plywood box with fiberglass RV shower. No bathroom mirror, countertop and there was a tiny sink on the back of the toilet. The carpeting was a black-and-white checkerboard that was obviously dirty.

Buyers warning: Read the small print; i failed to do so. This hotel consists of micro-lofts, not appropriate for a couple in their 70's who have balance challenges and the need to get up multiple times per night to relieve their bladders. Negotiating multiple stairs in dim light is a recipe for a physical disaster. The rooms are organized compactly is that it's like living on a boat. Some absurdities show up, like a TV with no place to sit in front of. Also, every thing is unlocked with a code: gate. elevator and room. This is a unique property that has physical and mental requirements to inhabit. PS on-site manager was very kind and helpful to the best of her ability.

While everything appeared to be clean, it did appear a bit dated. Our sink faucet pretty much fell apart. The layout is very cute and trendy but dang is it inconvenient. Very hard to do anything but sleep and shower. We really tried to like it but having to crawl around to get to bed and pretty much having to wake my wife up every time I had to go to the bathroom got old quick. The staff was friendly and very attentive. Internet was slow. Don't recommend if you need to do work online.

A funky and fun concept with great views of the Hillcrest area in both directions. However it felt a little ‘tired’ and in need of a freshening of paint and linens/upholstery. E.g. the under-sheet had pilling and the couch had ‘mystery’ stains in need of additional steam cleaning.

This place was simply weird. Sketch honestly. I booked from a third party and when I arrived the whole experience was weird. The main guy met me in person to take my card and just went upstairs somewhere and gave me no receipt either. It was not professional at all. I was told it would be contactless and it was not. I honestly thought I was going to get scammed through them somehow but thankfully I wasn’t. I would never come back here again. There’s so many places, it’s not worth here.

Great location! Great communication.
Traveling solo I felt very safe in the gated entrance and open area. Communication was great with management for key code etc. very accommodating. Hillcrest location perfect. Room was a little stuffy and didn’t want to go shoeless on shag rug but everything else clean. Nice and quiet, other guests were very friendly. Great vibe all around. 💫
