Our stay was ok in the end, although the apartment was way more run down than anticipated. The beds were comfortable, which was good. But all in all, it was surprising to hear it was recently renovated, because it seems like it could use another face lift. The couch was broken and the tub was dirty, not to mention it was totally freezing due to the a/c on full blast. And as much as the b/w artsy look was alluring, it ended up being a bit stressful.
We did, however, appreciate Michael's prompt communication throughout our stay. We had just hoped it would be nicer.
