OK

We stayed for two nights while in town for an event and found the experience to be mixed. The location was great and communication with the host was prompt and professional. However, there were a few aspects of the stay that could be improved.The unit had a more minimal setup than expected — for example, there were no window coverings in the bedroom, which made it difficult to sleep in after sunrise. The listing photos gave us the impression that the space might be a bit more polished than what we found upon arrival. Some fixtures, like the TV mount, seemed in need of attention, and the towels and kitchen supplies felt limited.While the building had a more short-term rental feel than a residential vibe, the check-in process was smooth and the overall stay was manageable. We tend to be pretty flexible travelers, but based on our experience, this particular property may not be the best fit for everyone.
This is a picture I shared with the property contact, clearly the blinds existed at some point as there are the insert there.  There were also random 3M hanging things with nothing on them.  It was very weird, this was the only picture I took.

Cute loft apartment in convenient location.

Modern industrial style apartment that is in a very convenient location just a block or two from popular downtown spots. Bed is super comfortable and the apartment has very nice bathroom with great water pressure in the shower. Building is very secure and has several common areas with things to do. Had a little trouble checking in as the lockbox with the keys in it was missing the label with the unit number on it, but once we figured out which one it was , it was very smooth sailing. Host had very responsive communication and checked in on things often. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location!

Our stay was good. This apartment was in a great location and had a nice roof top sitting area. There are a ton of eating and drinking establishments close by and we were able to walk to Wells Fargo in the sky walk. Checking in was a little goofy but overall just fine.

Towels were very basic. Could go to Walmart and get a few nice sets to have in unit instead of ones so thin they should be in the rag bucket. A hide-abed would be a great addition to this space. the tables & chairs were nice. Owner seemed to over communicate. We were in town for a tournament so just needed a place to sleep. The rooftop access was nice if only it was warmer. Parking garage & skywalk were nice and convenient. Just don't park near the ramp bc homeless guy broke into my truck & a few others in the garage bc he walked up the ramp.
