There was a used bar of soap left in the shower, and the coffee pods were left in the bathroom. It looked very quickly cleaned and thrown together.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (80 reviews)

This apartment was perfect for what we needed. It is central to many parts so you could walk if you wanted. We did rent a car so it was great that free parking for 2 spots was available. It was clean and had everything we needed for our short stay. I'd likely come and stay again when I am back in the area
