9/10 Wonderful! (6 reviews)
Very special place. The first floor unit has 12 foot high ceilings and is decorated and furnished with style. Very airy and great natural light. Windows could use a wash but they offered great soundproofing. The vibe is 10/10 here. 2 bedroom downstairs were a bit noisy on a Sunday night, but much quieter on Monday night. Bring ear plugs and a sound machine for the kids just in case. Excellent location. Budget $45 per day for parking. The host is very responsive and attentive. Grocery store across the street is open late too. Would love to stay here again.
