Overall, the main pros were the convenient location within walking distance to most things and the reasonable value for money for accomodation in this area.
Things to consider:
- as everyone has previously said, no A/C so just be aware of this
- there is a large interstate directly opposite the apartment window, which may be difficult for light sleepers. The windows do block out most of the noise, but we did find it necessary to keep them open for ventilation.
- there are some additional costs that are not advertised on the listing and are significant - would be worth being proactive and asking host about these beforehand so you are not left short or unprepared.
- not technically in the heart of the Pearl District, but pretty close.
- felt a bit institutional and lacks some of the personal touches that can make a stay more enjoyable.
Reasonable accommodation if you’re looking for an economic option that is convenient, but may not suit all.
