Great location. Easy access to metro and restaurants. Beautiful streets. Nicole is a very responsive host with lots of suggestions for things to do. The choice of furnishings is cute and old fashioned.
I really wanted to like this space, but there were some issues. Once you enter the key code on the exterior door, your room key is inside an open mailbox. This didn't feel safe because anyone could have picked up that key and made a copy to access your room (or any room in that entire building that stored a loose key in the open mailbox). There were gnats and flies in the room. The tub had soap scum on the sides of the tub walls, and it rubbed off onto my leg. There was a piece of brown sponge on the bathroom floor. The place could use a good vacuuming (in the halls and inside the room itself). The bed killed my back. The walls had a fair amount of black scuff marks. The TV did not have a signal. The overhead light only had one functioning lightbulb so the room seemed too dim. There was loud construction that started every morning before 7:30 am. When I mentioned the construction to Nicole, she offered me a discount as an apology which was the right thing to do on her part because I would not have rented the room if I had known about the construction noise.
