quick response parking permit easy parking

the host was superb! they answered all our questions super quickly and even sorted us out with an on-street parking permit! i really appreciated that i was able to collect the parking permit before check-in. it was so nice to park right outside the building (what a bonus!).

the shower temperature was a bit temperamental. it wasn't a huge deal, but something i noticed.

the shower's temperature wasn't consistent. i could hear every footstep other people made in the building. i think if you just want a place for the night in a good location it will suit you. however, it was expensive for what it is.
