This is a great spot for minimal living if you are a quiet couple. There are pros and cons, but the pros were so outstanding they outweigh the cons. The cons are detail-specific, so might not affect everyone.
Pros-
Location, location, location: we were 7 blocks from the convention center (and were there for a convention), so we walked a couple of times. But the metro was so easy to take, we just bought a 7-day pass and used that to get around... Even to Walmart. (August in Texas...)
Fast internet: my husband had to work half a day every day and the internet was nice and fast for that. Also the TV received all the latest streaming services.
Stocked well-functioning kitchen: there were no extras, but the basics were all there and everything functioned, even the ice maker
Air conditioning: seems weird, but I didn't know what to expect being in a hot place, with floor-to-ceiling windows facing west, but it did a great job day and night.
Water pressure and hot water were great and fast... But
Cons-
You can't adjust the water temperature in the shower. It was very hot- but doable if you step in and out of it.
The bed was very firm memory foam- acceptable considering most hotel mattresses roll me to the middle, but very hard.
No comfortable chairs for sitting long term (my husband's work hours were very difficult on him)
Minimal: this isn't usually an issue, but there is nothing in the bedroom with any kind of drawer. This is fine for a short stay, to live out of suitcases. But for our extended stay, it was an issue. I moved stuff on bathroom shelves around and used them for drawers.
Housekeeping: we were given 4 towels, 2 washcloths, and 3 small rolls of TP to last our 7-night stay. The bathroom sink drained slowly and the shower had black mold in the grout. I noticed the washer/dryer with detergent (no softener), so I asked for more washcloths, some hand towels, and more TP and thought I'd just wash them. They brought 4 wash cloths and said they "didn't have" hand towels. I picked up some cleaner with bleach, and dryer sheets at the store, then took care of the shower and washed our towels twice during our stay. In all fairness, I was trying to pick my battles, so did not inform them of the mold or slow sink.
Noise: I was advised, multiple times, prior to our arrival, that noise levels would have to be quiet, and they would know because there are noise detectors in the apartment. I tried to put their mind at ease, but was repeatedly told and reminded of noise detectors that measure noise level. We are quiet by nature so it wasn't an issue, but it might be to someone else.
So, because we're quiet and I know how to clean, the cons aren't enough to keep me from returning, and many of the cons aren't applicable to everyone. Overall, the location and fact that everything worked and worked well is worth it to me.
