This tiny apartment was clean but sparsely furnished. A small couch was uncomfortable and there was only one nightstand and lamp so one of us had only the floor to put a book glasses and phone. The neighborhood is busy and VERY NOISY. Earplugs did not help as the bed and several doors creaked with each movement. Footsteps from the occupants upstairs were loud.Twice, there was mis or missed communication from the rental agent that required calls to customer service at VRBO.Some if these issues were no fault of the apartment manager and we learned to avoid this neighborhood in future. A few small touches, a box of tissues, a nightlight and hangers for some jackets would have been nice. Places we liked in the past were not available or required a minimum stay.

Perfect location! Trendy and safe neighborhood. Clean and so comfortable. We slept like babies - the bed and bedding was A. Nice extra touches like foam ear plugs and a couple water bottles in a fridge. It was hot outside and the A/C works very well. I’d stay here again - the price was much better than hotels in the area.
