Pros: Location is great and is close to some amazing restaurants and bars. The apartment itself was cute and well decorated. The building is old and provides a certain level of charm that I appreciate, the moldings and panel doors are to die for. Kate was also kind and quick to answer. Action is a 15 minute walk or $5 uber. The pullout couch was surprisingly comfortable, but the fabric paint made it a bit scratchy.
Cons: The building is old so the water temperature was a bit of an issue- it seemed if someone on the block flushed the toilet you were to be burned in the shower. The hallway of the building had a really strong smell, but luckily the apartment itself did not - I don't think we could have stayed if it did. The apartment itself could have used a deep clean and we encountered some large roaches on the day of checkout. One in the hallway and another in the kitchen. The apartment being on the first floor initially wasn't an issue for me when selecting the listing, but upon arrival we realized the door to get into the building doesn't lock and the door to the actual apartment locks seemed flimsy and didn't work well.
