The location was excellent on this property. Walking distance to so many great food/coffee places. Also felt very safe.
It is pretty bare bones, no kitchen towels, no laundry soap. Very hotel feel as far as the "extras" provided. Just bar soap, shampoo, conditioner and dishwasher soap.
The place needs updates, the blinds are cheap and dirty, the walls need to be painted, closet doors are broken. The front bedroom is just a few feet from the road so it is quite loud. It didn't bother us as we use a sound machine, but just so you are aware. The living room furniture is completely different than what the pictures show and the outdoor space is not desireable.
I did reach out to the owner about a few of the poor reviews and did not hear back. We were nervous since we did not hear back from him, however, there were no bad smells. :) Everything seemed very clean, as in sanitized, just needs some basic updates.
Lastly, the parking was not a big deal for us. You can park right in front of the unit from 10pm to 9am and Sunday's are free parking all day. We moved our car in front of the unit sometimes during those hours. We also found ample free parking within a block of the unit and our car was fine in that spot for several days. The train is a few blocks and we utilized that for all of our visit.
