The Odd Lodging is a well-maintained budget-friendly rental in an excellent location. It’s a spacious apartment, with a comfy bed and full kitchen. The apartment was well supplied with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and towels. The shower built into the old tub works fine, though the clingy shower curtains make for a less than ideal showering experience.

Much of the nearby parking has 2- or 4-hour limits during the day… though if you have a car you’re likely to be using it then anyway, right? Ample free overnight parking. Directly across the alley entrance is a gigantic pit, and the construction crew starts promptly at 7:00 AM every weekday… but with a white-noise generator (download an app for your phone!) and/or earplugs it’s not bad. I didn’t see any of the folks at the lodge, though Nora responded promptly to emails, providing the instructions for accessing the apartment (as well as with the wifi password).

Overall, you can’t beat the price point for such a nice apartment in a prime location, with short walks to excellent restaurants and breweries. If you can snag a reservation, do it!
