Property was newly refurbished & spotless clean. Smelled clean as well. Only complaints we had was the shower water temperature fluctuated to very hot randomly & there was a large gap around the exterior door that let cold air and street noise in. For the price we would stay here again.

The property has been completely updated. The room was great, comfortable and clean. The outside retains the vintage vibe that drew us here in the first place. The guy at the desk was friendly and was very interested in what we thought about the property.
