The Mettā Hotspot: All for One and One For All!

Summary: The Mettā Hotspot is a spacious two bedroom flat that was designed and appointed with the guiding principles of Mettā. Good will, loving-kindness, and the sincere wish for all those who enter. It’s more than just heads in beds it’s a place designed to be a completely supportive experience. A place to connect with yourself & guests. With off street parking for two cars.**In the spirit of Mettā, we are taking every precaution to maintain a clean & healthy home for our guests. The Space: Located on Broad St. our flat is a second floor walk up, (17 steps total) above a well known tattoo shop. When you pull into the parking space in the back of the building you will enter through the black iron gate ( with the gate code) and up the stairs to another keyless entry door. *NOTE: there isn't an elevator to get you up there. It's an open concept and spacious - The living room where you can see the dining area and the kitchen. The living space has a queen sleeper sofa (made in the USA) the dining table accommodates 6 and can extend on both ends to accommodate four more. The kitchen is stocked with all the essentials even the locally roasted ( by Lamplighter here Richmond) Mettā Coffee - STIR. As you enter the hallway the 1/2 bath is on the left and the 1st bedroom is on the right. Queen bed with Tuft and Needle mattress and organic bedding produced for Mettā Home. There is a sky light in this bedroom, but don't worry we have created a curtain that you can open and close. There is a sliding glass door that leads to the full size bathroom. The bathroom is large! Vanity, full walk in shower with two shower heads and a laundry closet. Should you need to use the washer or dryer or both please don’t over load them, they work great when filled but not overloaded. Our towels are organic and vegan ( yes there is such a thing!) also made for Mettā Home. All of which can be purchased... more about how to buy once you arrive. The second or front bedroom has another queen bed and twin sleeper. This bedroom has sound proof windows. They are like storm windows and you can open and close them with the little latches. We leave them open so you can open and close the blinds. We have a deck with dining table and lounge seating to enjoy the outdoors or have your morning coffee. * We understand that traveling can be unpredictable and you may arrive early or late, so we do our best to accommodate early and late check in requests with a fee.
