10/10 Excellent
"* Apartment was clean, safe and convenient. It is right at the end of the main downtown street. Our bay window was a great place to people watch. It did get a bit noisy when the bars got out. Apartments have free wifi that some young bar goers stood outside after the bars closed to use to arrange rides. Noise was not too bad and short duration. * Underground parking garage accessed with electronic key card was safe and convienent. Somewhat confusing on how to get from there to room. Elevator from garage may only go to one of the two buildings of apartments. If in doubt exit to outside and enter correct building. * Full kitchen with needed dishes and ammenities. Grocery store in same building block. * Beds were comfortable. * Staff were friendly."
