The apartment is absolutely beautiful! The pictures don't really do it justice. While the property itself is historic, the place has all the modern conveniences. It was very clean when I arrived, and there was a sweet note, flowers and candy there when I arrived. What a great way to start!
The location is just about perfect. I grew up in the area and was in town for a wedding, and I promise this is a good place to be. You're only a few blocks from downtown and Wilson Park. I had my dogs with me, and we loved our neighborhood walks.
The only reason I'm giving this place four stars is because it's really loud. I was on the first floor, so maybe the upstairs is different. But I could hear everything. I could hear other people's TVs from my living room. I could hear conversations on the porch. And because there are wood floors upstairs and down, you can hear every step above you. The first night I got a fright because my upstairs neighbors were walking, and I could have sworn they were right in my hallway! I got used to it after a couple of days, but I would take that into consideration if you're a traveler who greatly minds noise. Again, maybe a stay upstairs would have been different.
Overall, it's a really great property, and the owner's assistant was very responsive and answered any questions I had.
