Pros:
- close to the convention center, about a 9 minute walk, about 6 blocks away
- pantry had basics like salt, pepper, complimentary coffee pods, tea bags, extra toilet paper rolls, paper towels, garbage bags, dish soap, etc
- apartment was tidy, beds were clean and well made
- we could not hear the neighbors - the unit has 4 apartments and it was quiet at night
Cons:
- neighborhood is in a sketchy area - we walked back at night after 9:30pm and we always walked past homeless people sleeping on the sidewalks and we walked past people smoking and doing drugs
- this apartment does not have central air - the two window units did not cool the entire unit
- one of the bedrooms is not really a bedroom (there is no door - it opens up into the living room with just a curtain to separate)
- the bathroom has no lock
- the shower was wobbly - you have to be careful how you stand or else you felt like you were going to fall
- the bathtub handles were broken
- kitchen faucet was loose but worked fine
- apartment floor was very dirty (we took off our shoes when we arrived but within ten minutes, our feet were black like soot - it appears the floors have not had a good mopping in what may seem like months!)
- upon our arrival, the deck was left untidy, with dirty cigarette tray, cigarette butts etc
- the back deck appeared to have a beer box (not sure if it was full or empty)
- you could smell smoke on the towels and in the bathroom, near the toilet and window
