Sadly the photos were approx from 2016. I could tell because some of the comments from others were dated on the chalk wall behind the bed. Unfortunately I go off of pictures to decide the place to stay, so it was a disappointment that none of the trendy style was in the apartment anymore. It was as though a roommate had moved out, took the cool stuff and replaced it with stuff just to do the job (futon for a couch, basic bookshelf for the living room.) The ONLY furniture/style accurate in the photos was the coffee table in the living room and the chalk wall behind the bed. Everything else could have used TLC. The location felt safe.
