Our stay at Rodney/Desmond's was nice and relaxed. They upgraded us to a larger unit that was available, which made our stay very comfortable!

Pros:
-Spacious
-Clean linens/Bedding
-Comfortable bed
-Old/Historic building
-Cable TV and Wifi
-Location

Cons:
-Cleanliness (For us it was fine, but it should be noted there was a considerable amount of dust/dirt in the windowsills/corners, and some in the kitchen area)
-Old/Historic building (Creaky floors and doors, old locks, etc)
-Location (While the street is quite charming, some of the surrounding streets were a bit "rough", the subway is a bit of a walk, and taxis are non-existent in the area unless called for ahead of time online)

Overall, it was perfect for us (a young couple.) The building had character, the hosts were kind, and we don't mind dusty corners or long walks. We had a very memorable stay.
