We recently stayed at this location for the Rock and Roll Marathon event. The location was right next to downtown and less than a 1 mile walk to our starting line on Broadway. It was also super convenient to Germantown with plenty of local restaurants and only a 1.5 mile walk to The Gulch, much along a greenway. The location was perfect for us to arrive, park our car and not need to drive again until we left.
The space was well appointed and very clean. The addition of the washer and dryer was helpful for laundering our sweaty race clothes. And if you are traveling with infants or toddlers, the closets in this condo are huge. A perfect place for a pack and play for naps or nighttime.
The main drawback of this location is the proximity to the railroad. For condos on this side of the property, you are maybe 25 feet from a very active rail line. This is mentioned in the VRBO description, referencing that the tracks are nearby, and the trains do make noise. Let me just share that the trains make A LOT of noise. Even a sound sleeper will notice the noises, which continue every 20-30 minutes throughout the night. With time, your mind will grow accustomed to the sounds, but for the first several nights, expect fitful sleep as you adjust to the noise. It’s very noticeable and not conducive to good rest before a big event.
As for communication with the host, we requested an early check in and received no response to 2 messages. That was disappointing.
