Great stay for the area. Close to many things. Everything was comfortable. We had a couple issues with the signal for the tv dropping but nothing major. We chose to park at the Lafayette garage. It seemed the closest and easiest to get in and out of and around $40/24 hour period. Yes you can park in front of the apt, but its metered only for 2 hours. Free parking after 8pm but you have to move by 8am the next morning, so the garage was a no brainer. The bed was comfortable, noise was minimal. We didnt even really hear any neighbors. We did not use the laundry facilities in the basement but it was convenient. As others have stated, you have to walk up the first floor to get to the elevator on the 2nd floor but that wasnt much of an issue either. We had plenty of places to eat around us. Sidebar was a great little dive bar to just relax. Definitely recommend Silvertone as a good restaurant that was open later when we needed to find a place to eat. Tradesman or Caffe Nero for breakfast pastries and coffee. I felt very safe in the area and it was nice having a 7-11 right at the corner for any quick needs. Would definitely stay here again!
