This place is fantastic. Michael and his team did an amazing job saving this historic building and repurposing it into a beautiful Airbnb of charming studio apartments. The inside is a total gut rehab and is all brand new but with saved cool elements of the original building repurposed throughout (my kitchenette backsplash was actually part of the building's original wood floors).
The location is centrally located in a trendy area of downtown and I found myself mostly walking to everywhere I wanted to go (great restaurants, bars, shopping, baseball stadium, etc.).
Any questions I had were answered quickly through the Airbnb message stream. There is also a phone number to call directly. Michael, who is around a lot putting further love into the place, even offered a parking space right next to the building and an extension chord so I could plug in my electric vehicle over night. Oh, if you have a car for sure spend the extra $ per night on the super convenient parking area in the rear next to the back entrance. (A nice little area of limited spaces that belong to the building.)
The studio apartment doesn't have a full kitchen but there is a kitchenette with most of the things you need for easy prepared meals (microwave, hot plate, pans, utensils). There of course are plates, glasses and silverware. And there is a smaller but still decent size fridge. There is also a single cup coffee maker.
The building is safe and secure with modern electronic keypad access to entrances and to your apartment. Like most Airbnbs the check in and check out process is all done electronically and codes are texted to you. The TV uses Roku and is loaded up with all the apps you'll need (Netflix, Prime, Hulu, Sling, etc.) It even automatically logs you out of your apps when you check out.
I can't say enough good things about this place. I'm so glad I chose to stay here. If you're a city person like me you will especially love it. You also get the added feel-good benefit of all the love Michael, his partner and a ton of good-hearted volunteers put into saving this important landmark. Be sure to tour the hallways of each floor for the fun and informational timeline history of the building decorated on the walls - from it's heyday to it's demise (and fire) and now to this lovely modernized rebirth of historical charm.
