The room was small. Bed comfortable. I like that I could walk in all directions in the neighborhood and find stores, restaurants, markets. We had construction noise early in the morning. Parking was a bit tricky but they do have it for an extra charge. It was a nice stay and I would visit again and recommend.

Good for what it is

The room is small but it worked just great for my husband and I. The shared kitchen was nice to have on our floor but could have used some more cleaning.

Unprofessional employee

It was going well, had everything we needed, but the last day while getting ready to check out in an hour, someone unlocked our door and opened it. No knock or anything, extremely unprofessional, most likely the residential manager.
