The apartment itself is a classic old building, that would have been great to see how the neighbourhood was 30 years or so ago. The main bedroom is huge and right on the street so can get late noise when people pass. The second bedroom is much smaller, not sure the second bed is actually a queen?. This room had a fan which was good being summer. Both beds were comfortable enough.
The apartment is in a good location on Pike street. It’s a fair walk down to the market (1.5k +) but plenty to see, eat and drink on the way. With good options for coffee, beers and food on the way or even in the same block as the apartment. ST Johns caffe burger and the Melvin IPA.... Very good.
There was some crackdown going on while we were there for ID at the Bars (or maybe it’s normal?) and not only did I need my drivers license for ID but was asked for passports as well even though we were obviously over 21. Unfortunately this wasn’t consistent across the streets or even at the same bar on different nights.
I recommend doing the Bill Speidels Underground Tour, a good fun look into a bit of the city’s history.
