We had a great stay as a group of friends who were looking for an affordable place close to the center of downtown! However, the space had some quirks, so I made a pros and cons list of things I would have wanted to know before booking:
Pros:
Spacious, adorably decorated, clean, comfy bed, very walkable to the hot spots downtown and it's also right on the MAX rail line. Cathy was very responsive and helpful!
Cons:
I didn't feel like we had total privacy, because the windows were at eye level with everyone walking on the sidewalk, so we had to keep the blinds closed even during the day. Regarding a previous review that had me concerned about the safety of the area at first, there are a lot of unhoused people on the street (as there are throughout the whole city), but they mostly keep to themselves. The apartment was a bit noisy with the streetcar outside and upstairs neighbors, but not enough to disrupt my sleep, and the AC in the bedroom helped mask it. The place is a little outdated, with an antique phone/call box (which was pretty interesting actually), and the toilet has a functioning radiator directly in front of it so you have to sit on it sideways!
Overall, it did the job for me and a couple of college friends who reunited for the weekend and spent most of our time downtown!
