WAY more "diamond" than "rough." The curbside appeal is not so great, but once you get settled, you'll enjoy a ton of style and some great amenities. There's lots of window light and the apartment has an amazing chic modern yet homey feel that made us (a couple) relax right away. Got terrific sleep on the bed. It's a 10-15 minute walk to the Art's District where there are many cafes, pubs, and restaurants. Within a 5 minute walk we were able to start our run along the river. Nice Ride bikes also make it easy to get from this beautiful apartment to just about anywhere. Free easy parking on the street out front. Would definitely stay again!!
