Aaron’s place was great.
It had everything we needed- so much more space than a hotel room.
Very close to a red line stop and close to restaurants and bars.
We walked to Golden House Restaurant and Pancake House for one meal. It’s a cash-only throwback diner. Loved it. Had dinner at Demera (Ethiopian) and it was really good –the drink menu was different and delicious, too.
There is an Asian market around the corner in a strip mall on N. Broadway and we shopped there for veggies and noodles.
Across the street from the Asian market was a shop called Provisions. There, we bought whiskey, wine and ice cream (Jeni’s). You know, the staples.
We didn’t use the washer/dryer combo, but was glad it was there just in case.
The shower was divine.
TV used chromecast, and that was easy to set-up on our phones.
Apartment space was quiet. The building is mostly populated by 20 and 30-somethings. The common areas (lobby, rooftop and gym) made it seem like a giant dorm for older kids. We (at 49 and 59 years old) were the oldest people in the place save the front-desk person. Not a criticism, just an observation.
Uptown was exactly what we were looking for.
Thanks, Aaron, for helping to make our trip a success!
