"We rented the 4 bedroom apartment in the attic. The air was on but no heat and it was a bit cold. There was barely any staff but the were nice. The master bathroom was barely usable. One sink did not work. The tub was missing a handle for the hot water. And the shower would not produce hot water. There were a ton of beds. 11 total beds some were king, twins, queen and fulls. Older mattresses so not real soft and cozy. Plenty of room plus a living room. Sky lights let in light but t felt claustrophobic as there were no windows. Also only street parking which was a bit difficult and no elevator."
