Penelope is quick to reply and easy to communicate with. We experienced flight delays and changes and she was flexible about letting us check in late and leave early in the morning.
The neighborhood was wonderful- our favorite out of all the neighborhoods we visited. There's a ton of bars and restaurants in the area, it's close to public transit, and the surrounding neighborhoods are a lot of fun. It's easy to get around, we never felt unsafe or overwhelmed.
Penelope's place is great for a few days. It's a great price, the space is unique. It's not as clean or as comfortable as a hotel- but worth it for the price and atmosphere.
The stairs are no joke when you're lugging suitcases. Pack accordingly.
