The host was communicative via text message and willing to share information about the local area, etc. I was interested primarily in privacy and he respected that.
I stayed in this apartment for ten weeks and worked in south Uptown. The apartment’s location will be PHENOMENAL for anyone in a similar situation.
There was reasonable parking availability in the alley immediately behind the complex. (Open parking, only.) Users of small vehicles are unlikely to have trouble finding space, but users of trucks, suburbans, etc. may need to be willing to park down the street.
The apartment lacks a few things one may take for granted. For example: (1) There is no dresser for clothing. I utilized the closet's hanging rack and certain shelves, which were built into the wall, to meet that need; and (2) There is no space for cooking. I didn’t cook much, so that didn’t bother me.
A few tips for those who will stay here: (1) bring plenty of quarters for laundry; (2) bring an extension cord if you want to use the microwave; (3) keep in mind that you’re getting a competitive price on a tremendous location for a reason.
I would recommend this location to a friend who (1) is on a budget; (2) desires an ultra-convenient location; (3) is low-maintenance; and (4) is unfazed by dark, secluded alleys.
