The place worked out for our group who was in town for the race, and was able to get across to downtown easily. We didn't spend much time in the apt b/c we were out and about. I wouldn't say it's the kind of place where you want to cook and hang out necessarily but it was fine for what we needed. There isn't a designated parking spot on a heavy traffic street but finding parking wasn't much of an issue. The washer/dryer is in the basement feels a bit sketchy.
