You will feel sketched out by all the graffiti in the alley and the whole dimly lit horror vibe of the stairwell.. BUT once you get inside, the apartment is beautiful. Totally updated. The terrazzo floors are a standout too. George gave really solid food and drink recs.. where the hip young locals go. He was also prompt at responding. Also everything is super walkable from the apartment, which actually made up for the fact that the building itself was a little shabby. The bed was not comfortable, however, which was a bummer. Overall, absolutely would stay again though.
