I am very funny about smells, but neglected to realize this was a building of a few units. With that being said, my unit was really clean. The smell of smoke was coming from the other guests & Also the walls are paper thin, so I didn’t have much privacy between my phone convos and the other guests. That being said, it was newly renovated, kept up well, and it didn’t attract very much unwanted traffic so I felt pretty safe. If I didn’t have the allergies I have, I don’t think I would’ve minded. But at the end of the day, I am traveling alone for the first time & I had lots of questions; however, the hosts were more than kind enough to answer them thoroughly.
