Overall, Joan was very helpful and responsive and this apartment is in a great location, but it isn’t really as nice as it might appear in the pictures. There are cleanliness issues — the bathroom and kitchen are a bit crusty in places and it is generally kind of dusty. Also, the apartment is set off the busy street and in a cool old building, but it isn’t very quiet; there was construction that was a surprise at 8am on the weekdays and a kid upstairs practicing drums on the weekend. Also, the bed was saggy and had only a couple well-worn (flat) pillows. Overall, great location, super nice host but the apartment wasn’t really worth the rate.
