In short: The location is exceptional, the apartment has the elements you most need, and you will overlook the rough edges because the price is good.
Longer: Marsh clearly has a lot of hustle and is going to do everything he can to make you happy about your stay. For instance, I believe the person Marsh hired to shovel snow from the property didn't do an adequate job so there was Marsh, completing the work in the early evening (we didn't complain about it). The rough edges I refer to above are all things that when you encounter them make you go, "meh, still gets the job done." Examples include the handle for the microwave door (it is gone), the handle for the shower faucet (it comes off if you pull it, but you can immediately re-attach it), and the absence of a soap dispenser in the bathroom (there was body wash).
On the positive side, the apartment feels stylish with the exposed brick. The heater didn't miss a beat. The street noise other people talked about didn't seem so bad -- we didn't use the earplugs we brought with us. The Ferrero Rocher (chocolates) awaiting us on the pillows was also a thoughtful touch. All in all, we would stay here again and we are cheering for Marsh.
