Location was awesome - easy to walk to the subway, restaurants, stores, etc. Sound does carry into the apartment from upstairs and from the outside hall, and there was quite a bit of activity and noise in the house during waking hours of the day, but during the hours I slept it was quiet. Clean, basic furnishings. Bed is low to the ground but was comfortable. I used the kitchen to cook something simple and the basic pots, utensils, and dishes I needed were there. Chris was really helpful and responded quickly to anything I needed. I would stay again without a doubt. Cannot beat this location, and I loved having a private space with a mostly private entrance!
