Overall, we had a positive experience with our stay. This is definitely an AirBnb where you are paying for location rather than presentation. Here are some pros and cons we experienced:
Pros
— Location is great for access to clubs, restaurants, and downtown.
— The beds were comfy and the water was hot for a shower!
— Street parking was not a realistic option, but we found a paid covered garage nearby with 24/7 security and affordable prices.
Cons
— You will absolutely hear club music and feel the vibrations in your room. The walls are not really soundproofed, so we frequently heard ambient noise.
— The building has a kind of hostel vibe. There are about 20 rooms total in the building, so lots of neighbors.
— There are technically quiet hours in the building, but no manager present to enforce. There is an on-call number for emergencies, but when we had rowdy guests outside our door at 1:00am, there wasn’t much we could do except ignore them.
— The building is older, and while the room was clean, there were a few maintenance issues and the hallways was aged. The bedroom and bathroom have the essentials, but they are noticeably smaller than what the pictures imply. We were a group of three ladies and we definitely had very little extra space between our luggage and us.
TLDR: When you book, remember that you’re paying for location rather than high-class accommodations. Expect noise at all hours. Be prepared for adventures, and if you want a more private and quiet place to stay, check out a nearby hotel instead.
