This place has wonderful hosts who are friendly and accommodating. They got back to me immediately with answers to my questions. I was to have a friend as a roommate and ended up all by myself and felt safe and secure in the apt. There is lots of lighting to get from the car to the apt, which was appreciated as I came in fairly late in the evening after a conference. Check-in was super easy. The unit is old but squeaky clean, which is the most important thing. The mattress is very firm, although I was comfortable. Also, the walls are thin and I could hear someone talking (presumably on the phone or computer) all night long, literally, because I woke up often. I felt my space was somewhat invaded even though there was a wall (thin) and a door (not soundproof) between us. And there is no heat. I had read that in a previous review and I brought my own room heater. As it turns out, I didn't really need it. The bed had lots of layers so I made myself comfortable with little effort. I was only there one night and was disappointed that I couldn't spend time in the courtyard, relaxing. It would have been nice to sit and read in the afternoon. Picked it for the two bedrooms and it was 10-15 minutes from the Convention Center. It worked out fine for one night.
