Staying at Nick’s place feels more like you are staying at a halfway house. It was cool with me but I am sure some people will not feel comfortable in that type of environment. There are three floors with four rooms on each floor so you will always be running into someone. Everyone I met was really nice. There were people hanging out in the backyard with their dogs, yes pets are allowed. It was quiet thou and the room was clean and the bed comfortable. It is a great value for the money and Federal Hill is right there at your fingertips. I would stay again.
