The host was very responsive and accommodating. We arrived much earlier than check in time and did not want to trek around the city with our luggage. The host was gracious enough to allow us to check in a little earlier than usual. I'm not sure if this common place but it appeared that having open dialogue with the host was key to such an enjoyable and seamless stay.
The apartment is beautiful and spacious for two people. Everything was clean. The bed sheets had a faint stain on them. It wasn't anything gross. It could've potentially been a hard water stain. Luckily, the apartment has a complimentary washer and dryer (they even supplied a few complimentary washer pods). After a quick wash of the bedding all was well again. I didn't complain about it to the hosts because it was an easy fix and wasn't worth the fuss to me.
Previous reviewers have mentioned that the area is noisy. It IS noisy, especially during the day. Honestly, this is kind of expected since it's in the heart of the action. At night, it's MUCH quieter but if you're a light sleeper they provide a rain sounds/white noise machine and complimentary ear plugs. After drinking, eating, and walking all day, I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow 😂
The apartment is located close to everything. It's literally only a few city blocks from everything. We never needed a cab because everything worth doing was within walking distance.
Overall, I loved my stay and plan on staying there again whenever I return to the city. Definitely recommending to family/friends.
