The place is as authentic as I could expect for a city apartment that’s over 200 years old! Just some heads up—the shower really is small but I’m 6’ and it was not an issue. The sink is also tiny. The bathroom entrance is pretty low so for those about 5’8 or taller watch your head pretty much everywhere in the building. The angles including the floor are not quite level or perpendicular so it can be a little disorienting. The apartment is OLD so everything creaks. Otherwise it’s a small, great apartment. We didn’t buy a transit pass because everything we wanted to see was in walking distance so the location was perfect. The host was excellent in her communication and very helpful. This is my first Airbnb stay and it was simply great.
