"We loved this property. Stacia was amazing and responsive. It's close to everything downtown. The property is cool and modern. Parking is close. The beds are comfortable and it has a full kitchen. I was aware of the noise issue from other reviews. It's real, but if you don't mind that, the property is perfect in every other way. We found that a good white noise machine and some earplugs solved both bar and street noise."

Also, there was only 1 knife. The bathroom has zero hooks or bars to hang your towels and the kitchen sink disposer didn’t work when we arrived so the sink...
