The place itself is fine but with the location it is loud and smoky. I am aware the neighborhood i was booking in: the ONE question I asked the host was “is this a quiet space good for a business traveler”. She said yes, “it’s rated as quiet”. I expected city street noise: Trash trucks, motos, occasional siren. This place is LOUD! There is a very popular party bar with a two level wrap around outside patio right across the street. I wish I could upload a photo of how close this bar is: I can read the specials from the window, I can hear the live bands clearly, sometimes you can feel the bass. This very busy bar is bumping Monday-Sunday. Windows closed (no matter how hot and stuffy it got) and earplugs was the only way to get any sleep. AND the bar is open 7am to 4am so it’s actually NEVER quiet in the apartment. 9am Sunday morning, drinking my coffee to the sounds of a loud bachelorette party and smelling cigarettes—the raised bench planters under the apartment windows is where everyone goes to sit outside and smoke. The smoke wafts right in to the bedroom and living room.
The only hope for this place is to install forced air AC/heat. Then never open the windows.
