For the price, I expected a modest apartment, so the place met those expectations. I chose it to be close to the Convention Center, where I was spending most of my time, and it is convenient for that. However, I had several issues with the place:

1) No towels when I checked in (no paper towels either); when I called the host, she told me to go to the laundry room to get them out of the dryer. To get to the dryer I had to literally climb on top of a giant pile of laundry to get to the vertically stacked dryer. While the towels were clean, they had bleach stains and were shredding on the ends.
2) I thought the above was kooky, but then she called me the next night late and asked me to deliver towels to another apartment downstairs! I suggested the other guests come to pick them up, which they never did.
3) The apartment was in disrepair - bathroom towel rack on the floor, kitchen faucet literally falling off, food encrusted on kitchen table, loose planks in living room floor, silver fish in living room and bathroom.
4) There is very little light outside, which made it difficult to get into the lockbox to get the key and to get in and out of the building at night. Also, the locks to the building are very difficult to turn and hard to figure out.
5) While the apartment is billed as "quirky" and "charming," the strange configuration is hard to get used to. The light for the very steep stairs up to the apartment is at the top of the stairs, so it's kind of dangerous when hauling up luggage in the dark. The bedroom light is outside the bedroom. The bathroom is across the apartment. There is a small step down from the kitchen to the living room that can cause problems when you're not expecting it.

In summary, I cannot recommend this apartment. If you are on an extreme budget and willing to put up with the above inconveniences, perhaps it is the place for you. I do not normally leave bad reviews, but felt it was important for people to understand what comes along with this apartment.
