The hosts were amazing. Lots of communication, even overly communicated but loved that they were readily available, especially during checkin. Listen to their directions about getting there and where to tell drivers. Our experience with all of the hosts was delightful.
If you’re like us and are not from the city or used to the noise that comes with it, reconsider a location off the street (with no windows) or bring ear plugs and expect little sleep. If you are naturally a heavy sleeper, maybe this won’t affect you. Not sure if it was just a weekend thing or if something was going on our first night, but Friday the noise was unbearable all night until about 5/6 am (people, cars, sirens, train whistles, trash and delivery trucks). The following night was a little better but we had ear plugs and think there was a little less going on. The fact that I expected it and could grab plugs helped so just a heads up might be nice especially for weekend travelers.
We enjoyed the rest. Cute, cozy little place with comfy beds and the bare essentials. Don’t plan on cooking there but why would you with endless amazing restaurants surrounding you. Nice to have a fridge and dishes and cutlery if needed.
The Ruby Slipper was amazing (food & service). It’s an extra bonus that it was below the apartment but make sure you arrive early or before you are hungry. We got there at 9am on Saturday to a line out onto the street and an hour wait time.
We also ate at Cochon, Galliano, and Dragos. Check them out online for food recommendations. You won’t regret it.
