Check in was by a lock box to obtain the key which is very helpful for arrival at odd times. The apartment was spotless and so cozy. We enjoyed the fun artwork in the spacious living and dining areas. The beds are all very firm, which we liked, but just know that in advance. The neighborhood is great for walking and the nearby parks are so lush and pretty. Loads of restaurants and a grocery within a short walk. We appreciated the filtered water for drinking, the large drying rack for hanging our clothes and having 2 full bathrooms. It was a great place for our cousin reunion.
