The location is amazing - very close to downtown. The balcony is small and shared. My boyfriend and I hadn't known that before we went and when we checked it out on the first day, saw another person on it and went inside, the host claimed we were smoking inside the apartment and that we had a pipe when neither me nor my boyfriend smoke. We used the futon because we had a medical situation happen (due to a health condition) during the night and we did take off hooks, breaking it admittedly. The host then tried to charge us $500, and called us liars because we wouldn't "admit" to her we were smokers and that we were smoking in the apartment. It made us feel very powerless when we explained over and over that we would never smoke (especially since I do have a health condition that I was offering medical documentation if need be to prove), and she was calling us liars and telling me I didn't "look sick". Although someone doesn't look sick it is not up to someone else - especially a host that knows nothing about me - to decide if I am. We felt we were being treated unfairly and weren't being heard by her, which was unfortunate. We wish we could have had a better experience as the location was so great.
