This was an unfortunately disappointing rental. While the location is perfect and in easy walking distance to anywhere in Little Italy, the unit is in some desperate need of attention: the carpet on the stairs is coming apart, there's dust and cobwebs on the upper windowsills, half of the windows don't have protective screens (please be mindful of this if you bring children, since it's the third floor after all), the couch has stains on it, the stovetop has a couple broken or finicky burners, and the dryer's lint trap was overflowing from having not been emptied in a while. A few of these things are serious safety issues that I hope get sorted out soon.
The TV amenities were fine but they didn't match what the listing says it offers. True, there is a Roku TV with the HBO, Amazon, and Hulu apps downloaded, but the services are not provided. Be prepared with your own login, or to watch Netflix on a stranger's profile that was left logged in (sorry!).
There is an $85 cleaning fee, which covers the bedding and towels, we assume, but it does not cover taking out your trash to the dumpster or washing any of your dishes. You are required to do those yourself, which we were happy to do, but the labels/signage that are printed and posted around the common area and kitchen warning you to do your chores before you leave are an added touch that seem inappropriate and very corporate.
Parking is provided, which is a blessing in this part of town. Wi-Fi is perfectly adequate for casual internet browsing. Location is absolutely the best part of this rental, since downtown is incredibly accessible by foot.
The place just really, really needs an update, and it truly deserves one, considering it has so much potential to be an outstanding stay.
We enjoyed our stay well enough, all things considered, and chose to spend most of our time outside of the apartment.
