Let me start by saying what we liked about James’s place. First of all we were in town to run the marathon and I could see the starting line from the room. So location was amazing. The view was great - James was very responsive and the bed was super comfortable . My highest rated reviews go to places I’d definitely stay at again. Although I’d recommend it given the reasons above - I’d not stay here again. It felt a little claustrophobic given the windows did not open and there’s no balcony. There are two beds but no seating other than two stools at a small table - definitely not a place to hang out. The elevator issues were disclosed before renting but at one point both were out and we had to climb 39 flights of stairs. James was very responsive to help resolve and gave us a small refund without my asking which was very nice.
