The space was clean, updated, and cozy. We loved opening the windows in the mornings for breakfast and letting in the sunshine and sounds of the city. The neighborhood seemed lively but safe, quiet at night. The bed was so comfy, we slept great. We were less than 5 minute walk from everything we wanted to do- coffee and pastries in the morning, the sea wall, a foot ferry to the wharf market, etc. The smoke smell in the hall was extremely mild, not in the apartment, and didn’t detract from our stay in any way. I would let anyone who has difficulty getting in and out of tubs know that this one is a tad high so use a little extra caution. We didn’t need heat or the air filter but we are not familiar with how to use the fireplace or some other items so would recommend some instructions for similarly clueless guests. Very nice and we’d definitely stay again.
