Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The studio apartment was in a remodeled hotel space. Room was at the top of the stairs (no elevator). Had nice access to River and a pool. We requested early check-in which was granted with an additional fee. Murphy bed could be improved, did not get great sleep. Amenities were a bit lacking. There wasn't a hair dryer or hangers in the closet. Bathroom condensation on walls was pretty gross. We got locked out the second night and it took over an hour and a half in order for the agent to assist us and reset the keypad. Owner had to be called and she said just leave the door unlocked which is a terrible solution.
