Just as she says, it's an old building. You have to be fine with that. It's small, but I didn't feel cramped at all and I'm a fairly big guy. There was plenty of room for my Qi'gong exercises in the front room, when I moved the coffee table aside. The furnishings are not high-end but they're tasteful, solid, and comfortable. I liked the bed, and slept well in it. I appreciated the wooden hangers in the closets. Because I'm used to urban noise, I didn't so much mind the occasional jostling of bins in the alley below the window at 5AM. Some people unused to it might have a harder time. The location is great: perfect cappuccino next door, and a Trader Joes a block away.
