My husband and I planned a quick weekend getaway and had a great time. The apartment was clean and exactly as pictured. The location was perfect and close to small shops, great food, and of course some enjoyable bar options. The outside shared area was a lot of fun and we made some new friends. We will definitely plan another trip and stay again.

Nice place, perfect location for a night out
Great location to walk right out into the mix. Yet, it was quiet in the room. Great concept.

We greatly appreciate your review and are thrilled to hear about your positive experience with us. Hope to see you back soon!
Accommodations are awesome. Neighborhood crime rate seems to be a little higher than most areas. But this was made up for by all the great places to eat within walking distance.

David - glad you all enjoyed your stay with us. We are in a busy area of town, and most restaurants and bars are easily in walking distance. Hope to see you back!
Everything was wonderful. Great responses from hosts. Clean and everything you could need was provided. We knew there may be some noise due to location but were informed by the amazing bartenders at Neat that are two nightclubs a few doors down that are open from 10pm-4am All we could hear/feel was the bass vs people, earplugs were provided which was a cute touch.
