The location of this apartment is ideal. However, the apartment and the building are in need of some maintenance. The communication was good, but their words of reassurance did not result in fixes. The apartment is on a very busy corner, so it is traffic loud and it does not get very dark for sleeping. The stairway is dirty and the doors do not feel very secure. Bathroom sink and shower were very slow to drain, and although they said someone would fix them, no one ever showed up. Overall, it is a decent stay, but some TLC is needed on the apartment.

likes: Very convenient to places i wanted to go. Walkable. Some great dining choices in the immediate area. Communication was excellent with staff. Just off the highway which is good for when you're ready to leave. Very easy to get into apartment. DIdn't need to check-in. Washer/dryer - didn't use but glad it was there. dislikes: walls could use a paint job heard some noise from the highway but more so heard just about every move the people upstairs made. I was in basement apartment. bed could use a fitted bottom sheet. not sure why they use an unfitted sheet. gets tangled/moves a lot during the night. bed makes a lot of creaking noises all this being said, i would definitely stay there again

The property was a great location. The only problem was the air conditioner going out Friday then coming back in and went back out Saturday. Sleeping was very uncomfortable.

Very comfortable and really close to the convention center, clean, interesting design. It is next to the interstate so it is very loud when trying to sleep. It worked great for me and I may stay here again, just be warned.

Liked the price and the property. Liked having an apt instead of just a hotel room. Didn't like the unsecured website insisting on having all my private and personal information. Didn't like that there was no free parking.

Would never stay here again.
Very loud even with ear plugs and a sound machine to drown out the highway noise. My car was damaged in the parking lot across the street. Unit needed repair. Was locked out of the building before my checkout time and had to spend 30 minutes waiting for customer service to assist.

We stayed in unit E. The location was perfect for the convention center event. Parking was more than stated in the instructions, but it was still a good price. We could see the car from our window. You will need to use the earplugs supplied for night traffic noise and possibly bring an eye mask. The rooms are very bright with big windows esp. if you are sleeping on the sofa bed. Nice seating areas if you need to work on your laptop for work. The full-size kitchen is nice for heating up the leftovers. The sofa bed was not very comfortable, though. The bathroom is located in the small loft bedroom above. It was small but clean and manageable.

No regrets!
We enjoyed staying for 4 nights at this place. Perfect location to explore city on foot. All amenities provided as described. Very clean, nicely furnished. I would say it's best for a couple, for other two adults, it's more tricky - king size bed is on loft, couch on the "studio" ground (not really comfy for sleeping and no privacy). It worked for us.
