This is a spacious, airy apartment with a lot of nice natural light. We didn't have much of an issue at all with close on-street parking, and check-in was a breeze. Joe is very friendly and responds to messages very quickly.
As far as the experience itself, I think maybe calling the apartment elegant might set you up for a bit of a disappointment. We didn't find anything about our experience elegant. Mattresses, linens, and pillows were not especially comfortable, and one bedroom door can't be closed unless the bedside table is moved to another part of the room. The kitchen accessories are pretty sparse, and there were no napkins or facial tissues -- and no 'extras' for the guests besides two bottles of distilled water. There are no ice trays either. Seating in the living room is not really an option for more than 4 people tops, as there is one somewhat uncomfortable, older couch and one chair. It is a very nice room, however. I couldn't imagine where 6 guests would congregate in any room, as there are only 4 dining room chairs. Decorations are somewhat sparse, and a few walls have nails (or nail holes) with nothing hung up. Water pressure is quite low, which maybe be an issue with the building. As others have commented, because this is a very old place with wood floors, it is noisy -- and the upstairs neighbors were quite noisy during the later hours. While a few of these things are intangible, it could be a really nice place to stay with some attention to detail.
