Awesome: Unbeatable location. Tons of great restaurants & bars in the neighborhood. We walked all over city, rode bikes on Sunday and took Uber at night. Spacious apartment. Great seating area in front room. Very reasonably priced.
Not Awesome: Objectively, there is a lot street noise at night. You may not mind it but if you’re a light sleeper, just know it’s not a quiet apartment.. The windows are single pane, you will hear people leaving the bars, cars, etc. The walls are also thin. The neighbors were yelling at each other on Thursday night after midnight. My husband didn’t wake up but I could hear them. The same neighbors got home at 3:30am Saturday and I could hear their entire conversation and her high heels walking around. I shut the bedroom and bathroom doors and that helped but, like I said, it’s not a quiet apartment.
At most Airbnbs we stay in, the hosts leave coffee, tea, water and/or little welcome snacks. We never rely on it but it’s always a nice touch. There isn’t any of that in this apartment so make sure to stop at the market for anything you might want/need the first morning.
This apartment is a good deal, but it has its drawbacks. You really can’t beat the location but if a good night’s sleep is high on your list of priorities, this might not be the place for you.
