No regrets!
We enjoyed staying for 4 nights at this place. Perfect location to explore city on foot. All amenities provided as described. Very clean, nicely furnished. I would say it's best for a couple, for other two adults, it's more tricky - king size bed is on loft, couch on the "studio" ground (not really comfy for sleeping and no privacy). It worked for us.

Absolutely love this property and plan on returning for a longer stay. Perfect size for 2-4 individuals, stylish and clean. Only negative is although the booking was a set price for the night, the property fee was almost the same price as one night so it’s basically double the price… Still very economical and worth the stay and every penny. Highly recommend this property, location is ideal!

It was a great space with lots of amenities in a central location. The washing machine was a life-saver! Pretty noisy though. I live on a noisy street at home so it was okay for me, but I think it would be too loud for non city dwellers. I was not a huge fan of the multi-step booking process. Having to send a copy of my ID to a random email address had sketchy vibes, but I read reviews and everything was legit so I proceeded. Still, I may not have booked this place when I was single. Some of the rules overstep the boundaries you expect from a hotel. For example, they make you promise not to have any overnight visitors without naming them during the booking process, as though it were a turn of the century women's boarding house. There were times in my life (my roaring 20s) when I could not have made that promise.

Overall I enjoyed the stay due to its convenience but that was after cleaning almost the entire space because it was very dirty. I slept in the couch as I didn’t have the energy to clean the bedroom. The place looked elegant but it was very dusty and my sinuses affected me the entire time while staying there. The access code didn’t work upon arrival and I was on hold for over an hour until I finally got some assistance to reset the code and tried again. There was no where to sit so I was on the side of the road with my luggage and if it could’ve have gotten worse, it started to rain. Aside from that dismal first impression, I was able to settle in and relax.

The apartment was beautiful but was disappointed because the apartment is at the top of the building. It's a lot of stairs, we bring a lot of luggage was not fun carrying our luggage on these stairs. Too much noise, we had a hard time sleeping, the traffic there is all the time. I recommend putting something in the windows as proof of sound. They way to open the door is a little tricky.

Cute place, conveniently located just a few blocks from the convention center! Walkable!! It was perfect for my short business trip!! Updated and modern, might need a little touch up paint just from every day wear and tear, but overall very nice, and had everything I needed! Customer service was also very helpful, and real time quick responsive even late at night and on the weekend!!

Eye Mask and Ear Plugs MANDATORY
location was super convenient to the convention center but it’s literally next door to the highway and the road noise from that and the fact that there are large high level windows with no blinds means getting any sort of sleep there requires you to have an eye mask and ear plugs which we purchased, because I only got 2 hours of sleep the first night and not good quality sleep the rest of the time. It was the absolute worst, would never stay again. Abode also requires you to send a bunch of extra info (like screenshots of your cc statement and licenses) which I have never had to do and seemed very odd and invasive. Never using their properties again either for how restricts they were.

Horrible
It was a total nightmare to start with. They need all this information the day of your stay, which was hard to get to them since we flew. Then we get there and tried to check in an hour early which nothing was ready even though I had just talked to someone minutes prior saying we were on the way. We get there and it is easily 4 flights of stairs with no elevator( we had to older parents and a baby) with a bunch of luggage. I emailed Abode about having to climb stairs and the said they posted it but you have to look in the fine print and all it says is no elevator, not that you have to spend your whole trip working out just to get up and down the stairs. I will never stay here and I would never recommend this to anyone.

The sheets and couch were stained as well as the rug. They used a sheet to put over the blanket so you couldn’t see the stain. The communication was horrible.
