This small apartment building is situated in an ideal location for those who wish to stay close to transit connections, food and drink options, and nightlife. It's not so ideal for those who desire peace and quiet, as the rear of the building faces a strip of bars, the noise from which turn into a roar by 10 pm on a Friday and Saturday. However, the room does come with earplugs, which is helpful.
The room was clean and check-in was easy. Although the bathrooms and kitchen were shared, I never had to wait for the bathroom and never encountered anybody in the kitchen. The only complaint I had was the store WiFi connection - I think there is insufficient bandwidth for the number of people who stay there. It wasn't a big deal for me, but if you need to access streaming video, this apartment might not work for you.
Mary was very communicative and responsive, and provided detailed instructions on checking in and out. I left a shirt there, and she offered to hold it for me.
All in all, it was a good stay. I knew about the noise beforehand, so my only issue was the WiFi, but that wasn't too important.
