Great place!

This was my first time staying at a Level property, and I was really impressed. I loved the studio; it felt like a one-bedroom because of the wall between the bed and the living area. And it was just as spacious and light-filled as the photos showed! I would gladly stay here again. It's a little more expensive than staying inside the loop, but the neighborhood was quieter and nicer, so it was worth it to me.
