INSIDE IS SLIGHTLY BELOW WHAT YOU SEE IN PICS.. outside looked like an abandoned building BUT it wasn’t! It was a street access that lead up some worn down stairs to whichever floor you’re on. We were on the third floor and this is a four floor building.
**I am one who LIKES THE SOUND OF THE CITY. THIS IS GOOD FOR THAT and provides a mild version. The street isn’t overly busy with people or cars, but the train runs across the street from this location. I liked that, and even opened the windows to allow more of the sound in. You can see the city from the windows and it is an even better view at night! Not like being directly downtown, but just outside of it!
BEWARE OF THE PARKING. Do NOT follow the suggested parking in your email confirmation MY CAR WAS TOWED thinking there was ‘local free parking under the tracks and across the street’. NOT TRUE. There is an open lot behind it. No ap, easy pay at the lot. If you pay $13 you can park there for 12 hours and if you pay $26 you can park there for 24 hours but BE CAREFUL IF YOU LEAVE AND THINK YOUR SPOT WILL BE THERE! It fills up fast! There is another parking garage across from the lot: THIS ONE YOU HAVE TO SELECT YOUR PARKING TIME IN AND OUT! We were only given a three hour window (4-7) for $12. Seemed reasonable until we couldn’t get back until 8:30. We had to pay $16 MORE to get the car out past the time it gave us. It told us (on the ap we had to download) we could extend our time if needed, and once we were parked it told us it was unavailable to extend the time. So we paid $28 for 4.5 hours. My car was towed in that area the confirmation email suggested for free parking and that cost me $230!
Now- the unit itself is just fine. If you’re the type to complain about small things, look for one that is more costly. This one was a reasonable price but had several little things that could be better. In the front bedroom there was a very large picture hanging up and it was bowed out and the glass was separated from the frame. I was worried my kids would knock that down on top of them because it is directly where you walk. The tv is mounted to the wall (only one in the unit, in living room) but it was unplugged and couldn’t reach an outlet. We contacted manager of this unit and we’re told someone would be in to address this and that didn’t happen for the three days we spent there. There are worn marks on the floors and wall, paint on the floors in spots, and only one mirror (in bathroom). This unit COULD BE BETTER, but it is fine!!! The decor is adorable and I loved the feel it gave. My kids are teenagers and they loved it. The steps are crappy to get to the unit but it’s not that big of a deal. I would say if you’re able to get your parking situated, it is fine!!!
