I’m grateful to Chris & Meghan for letting me stay at their place - their apartment has an excellent location and unit was very likely renovated recently, which is always a major plus.
That being said, the “historical” building which hosts the unit is poorly maintained. Upon entry, you are met by a cramped elevator that is certain to make you cringe. The hallway carpeting was filthy and unwelcoming as well. Also, I could hear the folks above during the day as well as late into the night. The unit does not keep the noise out very well.
In the interest of setting the right expectations, account for the quality of the building when making a decision to stay. I went by the pictures and based on my experience, I felt disappointed.
If I could go back in time and redo my trip, I’d stay at one of the hotels in the neighborhood.
