This apartment was in the most ideal location. Right above the best coffee, across the street from a hip brewery, and within walking distance to everything. The ad is right, it's noisy, but the noise is from the liveliness of the city and we loved it! There were only two issues for us. First, despite the fact that the ad says that this is a no smoking apartment, it is clearly a smoking building. We suspect that the apartment just below this one is home to a smoker, as every morning the odor of smoke would be very strong. We had to wash everything we brought with us and the smoke smell was in my hair all week. There were also some interesting odors coming from the neighboring apartment on the first few days, but those remained in the hallway. The only other thing was that the ad says that there is A/C, but there is just an old window unit that was very loud and certainly could not cool the whole apartment. If you're someone who can't take a very sunny, very warm space in the peak of summer, this might not do for you. We were fine with it as we were out and about most all days and sleeping (with earplugs) was cool and cozy. One last minor thing: the bathroom is the only space yet to be updated, so there is not one outlet. I had to do my hair in the kitchen. The tub needs tiling, but, like everything else here, felt immaculately clean. Nice modern feel in a super cool area. Steve was a good host who was prompt and helpful. There was even a birthday gift waiting for me! We had a lovely stay that was mostly very comfortable.
