You cannot beat this location! The space was clean and comfy. Not strong on amenities so make sure to bring your own or hit the store for coffee, oil, etc. upon arrival. They do provide a starter pack of toiletries and kitchen items like soap, sponge, etc. kind of bare bones but enough to make do! If you like to sleep in, bring an eye mask for the bigger bedroom as there is a skylight. Or sleep in the other bedroom - that one stays super dark. Noise was not an issue. We heard the train a couple times and the elevator but it didn’t bother us.Check in instructions can be a bit confusing. The address takes you to an art emporium. If coming from S. Gay street just look for the metal gate a few doors down. Once you figure it out it’s easy! Parking behind the building was also easy. Host was extremely easy to communicate with and always responded when we needed them. We stayed for grad weekend so prices were a premium but even so it was worth it. Would definitely stay here again. Very walkable to campus, downtown and staying in Old City is so nice!!
