This was a great place to stay. Historic building, lots of character. Room 2 was well situated, though if there are upstairs neighbors you can hear them loudly above you. Room was clean and comfortable, and the manager was responsive to needs. I would absolutely stay here again.

This room was really nice! Very cozy. Bed was comfy. Only had one roll of tissue but there is a small store across the street. Great location. Walking distance to everything. There are no views from the windows but we used the room for sleeping. There was an issue with the door to the building but it was handled expeditiously. Overall, I would stay here again.

Overall the actual room and the accommodations were excellent. Very clean, the kitchen was stocked with cooking utensils etc. the bed was comfortable, and the location was decent. Only complaint with accommodations was a VERY slippery shower. The issues that I have are with the advertising. They advertised this listing with parking as one of the amenities of the property and they call it the “Thena hotel”.( This is not a hotel, this is someone’s apartment. )So being a reasonable cost, I booked it over another actual hotel with parking. However, when we arrived, there was a Downpour and no parking. When I texted it took nearly an hour for them to respond so I called, they informed me that parking was not included but available at a lot across the street and I had to leave my keys with them for an additional 40 a night. This is like listing air conditioning under amenities, and then charging me a fee for using it when I get there. Again, we loved the accommodations, but would have stayed elsewhere for a similar price with parking available.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. The property was very conveniently located and as expected based on the pictures and the description on Vrbo. It was exceptionally clean and had more than adequate bedding, towels, etc. We did not use the kitchen for cooking but the kitchen drawers were very well stocked. It would have been helpful if the arrival directions indicated to hit "check mark" after the entrance access code. I tried the code several times before seeing the check mark, and intuiting that I needed to hit it after the code. This was a minor thing but when you're tired after travel, it helps to have directions as explicit as possible. There was an unsecured exterior door in the back of the building, adjacent to our unit with a note on it that said: "Keep door locked at all times!" The door was not locked and there was no way to lock it from the inside. There was a keypad on the outer side of the door. We thought the door would be locked from the outside but when we tested it by having my daughter try to gain entrance from the outside, she was easily able to open the door, without needing a code. We contacted the host about this and he was very accessible and responsive, which I appreciated. He was unable to fix the problem but gave us enough assurance that we felt okay about the situation. Based on everything, we were happy with our stay and would 100% stay at this property again and recommend it to others.

I lived just a block from this property 10 years ago and I still love the neighborhood. Central to everything, very lovely but still safe and quiet at night. This particular room was on the ground floor and I chose it bc I knew I’d have my big stroller and my 3yo daughter with me. I was a little nervous staying on the ground floor without my husband but like I said I knew the neighborhood so I figured it would be find with lots of doors between me and the outside. Unfortunately the door into the building was not lockable - the latch it was taped open. There was an addition door to the alley that had a deadbolt that was also not locked despite a sign that said “this door to remain locked at all times”. When I reached out to the hose upon check in they responded very apologetically that they would look into it asap and then let me know it was due to maintenance being done in the building that would be completed on Sunday (I checked in on Friday). I appreciated the fast response but it certainly made me uneasy - however they did let me know that the building was under 24 hr surveillance so that helped.My only other note is that the remotes are solar powered and the one in the bedroom drove me nuts! I’m not sure if it was not charging well or what but it worked only half the time. I never let the host know so not their fault, just heads up.Overall - It was great for what we needed and I love the location any neighborhood.
