From the perspective of a couple in their 60s and living in a few airbnb places:
1. Location is very convenient for everything, our trips to various restaurants, Wholefoods, Chinatown, etc. were pleasant;
2. Building has some rustic feel as the cobble stone "alley" Knox - good walking feel, the stairways leading to the entrance is a bit steep for us sometimes to enter the code, the door closes a little quick and the landing is narrow, and thus watch your steps... Door knobs throughout were quaint
3. Nice antique stairways leading up to the apartment. And Loic alerted us of some ongoing construction;
4. Apartment: very rustic feel and appeared to have no major renovation:
a. Oak flooring splattered with paint dots from wall/ceiling repainting? or just an artist flair?
b. Windows are original very drafty with some storm windows;
c. Ceiling is roughly 7 feet
d. Kitchen: all furnishings (appliances, cabinets, sink, etc.) all very old (perhaps inefficient) but overall useable
e. Two fireplaces: we were so tempted to use on the 2 cold nights but they are not functional
f. Bedroom: the bed is full-size and our first time sleeping on one so a little tight - as described... there is a useful small desk for a computer. 2 nice size closets.
g. Living room: sectional sofa for another bed... and a tall table for eating? I used it for morning checkin with work
h. Bathroom: all outdated, dearly need a complete reno. 4-gallon flush toilet, etc.
Overall, we only stayed mornings and slept at night. For us, it is not very comfortable or homely. Niceties include keurig with pods, even some ramen, and various oils, spices for ease of cooking but we didn't use any appliances other than the fridge and M/W. Heating systems include hotwater radiators and mini-splits controlled by wifi thermostats. Loic helped set the temp at 72F for us. Great communication with Loic.
