I spent four weeks in this historic 1886 brownstone apartment, and enjoyed every moment. This opportunity was sponsored by an ability to work remotely due to COVID; I searched the entire United States for month long stays and settled on this one. What a good choice I made!
Some of my favorite things:
- Photo ops of the exterior that will make all your friends back home jealous of your adventure
- Proximity to interesting sites and places to walk and explore. I went walking and running around downtown nearly every evening.
- Great counter space for cooking and a gas stove top
- hand sanitizer in the hallway
- Great sound deadening—sometimes I could hear people, at times loudly, in the hallway, but the sound never infiltrated into the apartment.
- Parking spot for car.
My sister came to visit one of the weekend I was here and I was pretty riled up over a total inability to find a place for her to park her car. Chris found a solution for me on my time of need, which I appreciated a lot.
Some tips for anyone who stays here:
- close the bedroom doors during the day to keep the living room cooler; open around bedtime to cool off the bedroom
- Hot water is HOT. Shower recipe = tiny bit of hot water, lots of cold.
- get the chicken sandwich at NOLOs Kitchen and Bar. it’s close, so Uber eats can get it to you fast or you can walk over yourself.
