Great location for doing downtown things. had everything we needed. Being in a historic district made it nice for walking the neighborhood. Older building so there is only window airconditioning.

This apartment is in a quiet neighborhood and would have served us well if the kitchen and utensils were clean. The bedding and towels and personal hygiene items were fine. The bedroom rug needs to be replaced.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Everything was neat and tidy. The reason for only Good review was because it's an older building (no fault to the host). My husband is over 200 lbs so the mattress was a little loud. Other than that, our stay was great and we'd definitely stay again for the location and price. Eric was very attentive and we appreciate being able to stay.
