The location of this stay is fantastic! In the heart of downtown, less than a block away from the blue metro line & a "city-bike" station directly outside the building's doors.
The building was undergoing renovation as a result of the freeze spell in February, so there were construction materials around the lobby, but nothing unsightly or in the way.
I encountered the same issue as many re: hot water. What I realized is that the hot water hadn't run out, I just had to run the water for anywhere from 5-10 minutes for it to get hot... no, that's not very environmentally friendly - it was an accidental discovery while trying to take a cold shower.
