This apartment is an excellent value in a high priced, lively, convenient neighborhood. The price reflects the somewhat spartan, bachelor-pad aura and rather worn condition of the building. Hey, luxury costs! The unit served our needs well, except for the noise level. We are probably more noise sensitive than many urban travelers so it might not be an issue for others. Sheldon had the place clean and tidy for us. We appreciated his encouragement that we use whatever we needed in the apartment. Glad he pointed us toward the Portage Bay Cafe for breakfast, just a few blocks away. Great tip.
