The Sherlock
This was a super cool property, loved the aesthetics of not only our room, but the lobby as well. The decor is well thought out and is very nice for pics. It says two bedroom, but with two full bedrooms, and a bed in the loft, its closer to a 3 bed, which is nice. The shower is great, and water pressure and heat is perfect. There is a slight mildew smell in the condo. The area does not have much to offer, you will have to drive to get coffee or food.
