I booked the apartment because of its proximity to the convention center and for the price. The problem was, when I arrived... my apartment, the one in the pictures, had been rented to three people from UF-Gainsville. I was stuck in the upstairs apartment, which has no pictures online. Bait and Switch.

I arrived at 230 and it was dirty. But to be honest, they said check in was at 4pm and when I arrived back at 4pm it was clean.

The apartment is austere (think two star hotel) so do not expect to enjoy it as anything more than a place to rest. The TV does not work unless telemondo on channel 47 is your favorite channel -- the only one that works. And you can hear everything going on in the apartment below through the heating-ducts.

The pictures you are seeing will belie the actual appearance of the apartment.

That said... you're not going to find a cheaper place to stay around the conference area. But prepared to be underwhelmed. The $400 deposit was returned extremely quickly so don't worry too much about that.

Long story short -- it did the job, but certainly not a place the Obama's would stay.
