Exceeded expectations immensely! When we were booking we were primarily looking for cheaper lodgings but we got so much more for how little we paid.
- SUPER close to public transit! The bus stop is right next to the building and so easy to just hop on the 3 bus downtown
- Just one street over you have all these bars, coffee shops, restaurants, a Trader Joe’s- if you had no interest in going very far to explore you literally wouldn’t need to
- Felt very comfortable and safe! We stayed here as two young women and felt extremely comfortable walking around the area at night, there is not only a 4-code lock to get into the building but and additional 4-code lock to get into your room AND a gated parking lot requiring a code
- Very clean and aesthetically pleasing apartment! I had meant to take a bunch of pictures but spent so much time exploring I never got to it hahaha
Potential Cons:
If you are disabled there is no elevator and there are steps to both initially get inside the housing and to also get to the actual rooms, so if you are wheel chair bound or need mobile assistance I would not recommend this place
The claw-foot tub (though gorgeous) has some height to it. I don’t believe it should deter anyone from booking but it is something to consider if you’re a bit short and have trouble getting in/out of the tub.
If you are a larger individual showering could be a bit of a pain. It is a bit narrow and since the shower curtain goes all the way around (and there is not a plastic liner) you’ll find the curtains sticks to your body as you’re trying to wash
Additionally if you’re a taller individual the bathroom is small (very cute though) and because of this the toilet fits very close to the bathtub. I myself am 6’ft tall and found that my knees came up against the tub and I could either 1) side saddle sit or 2) open my knees super wide to use the toilet (hahahaha)
