Maybe walking in to the condo building you can expect outdated looking building, but when you go into the condo it has more of modern look. It was my first time renting AirBnB so have nothing to compare it to, but I was very satisfied with stay. Good communication between host. I thought it was worth it. Only downside was the bar/restaurant across the alley would get little nosy so if your a light sleeper that might make it little hard to fall asleep at first. Everything else is great.
