8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (4 reviews)
"The property is very nice . But the sleeper sofa wasn’t great for 2 kids and the bed in the bedroom was a little too solid. I think the “sleeps 4” listing was a little deceiving. Aside from thise minor things the property is nice, felt pretty secured , and well kept. Cool old building retrofit with businesses and loft apartments. I did like the place overall. I think it would be best suited for a business traveler or a couple "
