Perfect for us, but perhaps not everyone. First, Michael is great—friendly and helpful. The place is quirky, fun and well located.
Things to be aware of: the front rooms are on Clark Street, which is Loud. The (provided) foam earplugs let me sleep, but might not be enough for everyone.
The building is mid-renovation, so some of the common areas are still rough—you have to slam the communal bathroom door to shut it.
For me, the charm of the place, warmth of our host and the comfort of the room itself more than made up for any irregularities, but go with realistic expectations.
And really—how often do you get to stay in a speakeasy?
