We loved this apartment and loved staying on Mississippi Avenue. What a great apartment on a great street in a great city.
We didn't get to meet Rachel, but her co-host Nancy was terrific meeting us on site to give us the key at check-in and showing us the layout of the apartment. She also gave us some local restaurant recommendations when we asked (they were all terrific!).
The apartment was exactly as advertised -- nice retro feel, clean, private, and spacious (though the bedroom is snug), with lots of bright natural light. I loved the old fashioned sash windows which we threw wide open to let in the fresh air. When it got too warm we blasted the AC for a little while to cool things down.
As mentioned in the description the apartment is over a somewhat busy street, so this might not be a great option for light sleepers. However we had no issue sleeping. We threw on a little white noise mobile app to smooth out the sound of folks heading home from the local bars and restaurants, as well as the early morning coffee shop set up beneath us. Our hosts also provided foam earplugs if that's helpful. We slept very well and comfortably.
I don't want to highly recommend this apartment because I would like it to be available for my next visit, but I gotta be fair and say it was terrific!
Thank you!
