My friend and I had a great time at Patricia's apartment. I didn't get a chance to meet her myself, but my friend said she was absolutely lovely, very welcoming when he checked in. She was available if we needed her, which was important. She left some amazing recommendations (very well-organized) for food, nightlife, etc. in the area that we loved. The area is very hip and close to a lot, which made it ideal for our stay.

Whenever I texted Patricia, she got back to me very quickly and was really accommodating. She even let us keep our bags in the apartment since we had evening flights. The place was very clean and there was a cleaner doing a full clean again after our stay when we went to pick up our bags. She had the beds made up, tons of blankets and anything else we'd need, towels galore in the bathroom, and toiletries for use if we needed them.

The place itself was very cute. It was bright and airy and had a great view of the city. It felt like an artist work space and even has an old safe used for storage and an old floor safe, which was really interesting. There were interesting architectural features in the apartment, yet it was also comfortable and had everything we needed. There was an elevator so no schelping our bags to the 6th floor - thank God! It was surprisingly quiet except for a few hours, 8-11 or so, for being in such a busy area.

My only criticism, and it's something Patricia has no control over but worth noting for people that this would be make or break for, had to do with the cigarette smoke smell in the evenings. Each evening after 10 I noticed that there was a pretty strong smell of cigarette smoke, particularly up in the loft area. It seems that the next-door neighbor is a heavy smoker and for some reason that was the time of day that I could really smell the smoke coming through the wall. It was a bit uncomfortable for me, but overall okay. I know that someone that really has a problem with cigarette smoke might be bothered by it and so this wouldn't be the best choice for those people.

Everyone else, stay here. It's fab!
