Very cute place. Only downside was the heater. Heater vents placed elevated on walls. Since heat rises the place was on the chilly side. The heater was also very loud.

OK Spot, bring slippers

Built in 1912 I recall. Place was clean, kitchen was adequate for cooking, small square footage. Towels and linens were clean. Two things I noticed were that the floor was very cold even with socks on and heat turned up and that the furnace which is located in a closet in the living room was very loud making watching TV and talking difficult. Solid 4-4.5 star. Check in was easy and parking is in rear from alley.
