My partner and I spent over a week here and really learned to love the condo and neighborhood. We lived/worked from here and really enjoyed our time. We were looking to stay in someone’s home - not just a place that someone puts 4 cups in and throws on Airbnb - and James’ place was very much the former.
The condo is in a historic building so there are plenty of quirks that come with that, but it also adds plenty of charm and it’s clear that James has put effort and thought into the decoration and space of the condo.
Our only complaints with the place were that the a/c units had recently been taken out and the week that we were staying here saw 80 degree temps every day so the condo got quite hot and also was a little warmer at night than we prefer. When we brought this up to James he was quick to respond and offered to see if the units could be put back in. We chose not to do this because of COVID but the gesture was appreciated. If the a/c is a deal breaker for you it’s worth contacting about before your stay - I don’t think we would have needed it at all a few weeks later.
The other issue - which goes hand in hand - was the amount of dust. It seems the removal of the a/c units caused an excess amount of dust on the windows. We noticed quite a bit throughout the entire condo, but again this is an issue that’s easily solved.
All in all we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.
