This place is a hidden gem! It was much cheaper than the other places we were looking at and still very spacious and had everything we needed. It was very clean too. We have 5 people and there was enough room for everyone to spread out. I was worried the location might not be the best, but we loved it! We went to CVS twice during our stay. It was so nice being less than a block away from it. The area has restaurants, grocery stores, and a coffee shop all within about a mile of the place which was super convenient. A standard (off peak hours) Uber downtown was $10. The only downfall of the place is that it is a little noisy. Noise travels between rooms easily and there are a lot of outside noises you'll hear throughout the night. We heard a train, trash pickup, sirens, etc. If you aren't used to city noises, then this place might not be for you, but we were okay with it. I didn't have any interaction with the hosts during our stay because we had everything we needed. Would highly recommend!
