I'm am rating this so high because Ed is an incredible host to work with. We were not able to stay in his apartment because as mentioned in some other comments it does smell of smoke. This is because of other tenants in the building. From what I understand nobody has actually smoked in this unit. From the very beginning Ed was willing to let us check in early and leave our bags in the building because we had an early flight. When I contacted him later that night about the smell after actually checking in, I honestly didn't expect anything could be done. Instead Ed got back to me quickly and offered a refund. He is awesome. Minus the smoke smell the unit is clean and nice. Would have loved to have stayed under different circumstances. There are a lot of steep stairs to climb which could be a problem for some. I would definitely rent another of Ed's properties in the future. He truly is one of the few "good guys" left.
