The host did a great job responding to our unique check-in conditions (I was flying in from SF arriving at 1:00 AM and a friend got to the unit long before me). There was a small snafu with the keys but my friend had no trouble working it out with the host.

There is music and commotion from the street, but the provided ear plugs worked amazingly well and we often weren't asleep before 3:00 AM anyways. Despite knowing this a priori, the amount of noise that makes it through the windows surprised me: they aren't very good at blocking it.

Being a part of that noise was great. We walked to Rainey Street, The Ritz movie theater, Easy Tiger, Ironworks BBQ, Kung Fu Saloon, etc. Just being able to walk in and out and be in the thick of it is a huge convenience that cannot be overstated.

The internet took a bit to figure out, but that was because some previous clown had changed the SSID. We fixed it to the proper value and it worked great. We're nerds so spent some of our downtime playing games on laptops between outings to sixth.

The A/C worked incredibly well (apparently different units for each floor) so when it got too toasty out we could easily fix that. Parking was also great: the parking garage door opened directly into the hallway for our unit.

Finally, the balcony was great. We spent the last night people watching and drinking scotch.
