Everything was great. The location is fabulous. Half-block from Monument Ave one way and half-block to the science museum the other. Steps from bars, restaurants, neat coffee shops, and Whole Foods. Apartment was well appointed for a weekend stay or longer.
I loved staying here. The place is very clean and private and perfectly located in the downtown area. Will most definitely recommend to anyone coming through this area.
Loved this cute apartment, especially as a single traveller! Secure feeling with parking right out back. All the amenities I needed and a great location to walk for food and more.
Room was very clean, comfortable, and simply furnished with the essentials.The area was quiet, safe and also easy for walking on the streets with lovely and historic homes.
this was our 2nd time staying here and its just perfect for us, as we spent our days with the grandchildren and nights here! we enjoyed coming back to a familiar place and hope to visit again soon!
I loved this cozy, comfortable apartment in a beautiful historic neighborhood. It's well equipped and an easy walk to restaurants and museums. Highly recommended.

May I suggest better lighting on the bathroom
Very good place
This place was cute and clean and quiet. Just perfect. It had a seperate entrance with direct access to ample parking in the back. I stayed here with my dogs while visiting family in the area. It was a really nice stay, very cozy and hospitable.
