Darob's row house was clean, comfy, and just as described. The location was perfect — I was in town for work, but the apartment was very centrally located, and would have been a great home base for sightseeing. I didn't interact with Darob during my stay, but all of the details I needed were provided in advance, so my visit was seamless.

I read a few reviews prior to my stay that suggested the location was noisy, but figured it couldn't be much worse than my NYC apartment. I was surprised to find that when I checked in (mid-rush hour), it was almost unbearably loud. However, once rush hour died down it was pretty quiet, aside from the occasional ambulance siren (there's a hospital across the circle). I bought some ear plugs to block out the sirens and slept like a rock every night. That being said, if you're sensitive to noise and not used to life on a busy street, you might want to look elsewhere.
