We came for a weekend getaway and had a great time! The apartment has great views, a comfortable bed, and plenty of space for two! There was an awesome jazz bar next door, a walk away from art, farmers market, brewery, fancy dinning! We didn’t even move our car once the entire weekend!

Nearby train, car alarms, and construction made it difficult to sleep well. Poor communication- lack of follow up. No shower curtain, just a clear liner. No floor mat/towel. 1towel per guest provided for a 3 night stay. Description says POOL- but it’s just a hot tub. Homeless crack head rolled up on me at 5am in the morning when I was packing up my car.

Nice Downtown Apartment
I am going to start with bad and end with the good. The bad: the check in and check out process was frustrating and needs a major overhaul. I will not go into the details but it was very messy and a tenant stopped and said others had the same issue. There is a train that woke us up and kept us awake. Not enough bath towels- only 2 - easy fix! Lots of sunlight in the bedroom in the morning, which could be good or bad depending on your preference.
The good: location, comfortable king bed, the kitchen was well stocked with utensils, Smart TV, easy parking, nice decor, beautiful building and amenities, much better than a hotel!
If the check in process was updated and there were more towels, I would stay again.
