Photographs shed a different light on the actual state of the kitchen and bathroom. Check in was fairly straight forward although we were not able to access the front street for drop off or the back alley for parking as the entire neighbourhood was blocked for an ongoing street party/ festival of which we were unaware. We had to park several blocks away which was not ideal.
We left after the first of three nights because of the excessive noise from the nearby stage and party tents including the one directly beneath our apartment. Would have been a great location if we had wanted to party all weekend until 3:00 am with the people on the street, however this was not for us. Our host agreed that the noise was unacceptable, yet we were not able to access any refund.
