This apartment exceeded our expectations. The property managers were responsive, the apartment was clean with tons of character and the location is unbeatable. If you are traveling with multiple people, this unit is perfect because it has two separate floors with two bathrooms. We stayed for 10+ weeks and loved every second of it. If you are looking for a long or short stay, this is the place!! ##### Haley P. Stayed 64 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christen T. 17 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### The apartment was beautiful, but……. The apartment was exactly as pictured. Two large spacious bedrooms, with two full bathrooms, very clean, beautiful hardwood floors, etc. The one thing the listing doesn’t mention is that it’s a 3rd floor apartment in a building with no elevator. My friend had a heck of a time getting her 50lb bag up those stairs, and I am currently recovering from pneumonia, so needless to say, a heads up would have been nice. Additionally, when we messaged the host to see if we could get a late check out, we never received a response. Also, we were charged an “additional person” fee of $75 and I’m not sure why because there were only two of us and the listing said it could sleep four. I assumed the additional person fee was if you had more than four people? ##### Christen T. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine M. 21 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The property was licated in a wonderful neighborhood and the accommodations were amazing.
