4 story walk-up
The main thing that I think should be shared about the place is that it was on the 4th floor of a 4 story walkup. There are 64 steps you’ll need to climb to get to the place. There are also 2 steps you’ll need to climb to get into the bathroom which is attached to the bedroom. This isn’t meant to prevent anyone from renting it, unless you’re not able to carry your stuff up 4 flights of stairs. I had to pause on the 3rd floor and catch my breath, but I also was usually carrying an extra 20-40 pounds of stuff with me. (I was there for a book conference.)There are 2 window air conditioners - one in the kitchen and one in the living room. None in the bedroom. I went during a heat way. Heat also rises. The owner did communicate with me about the heat prior to my arrival but there really wasn’t a good alternative option other than staying there. Fortunately, I tolerate heat well and the weather improved, which allowed the air conditioners to catch up. There are a lot of high end shops around. Target is nearby with a nice grocery store. There were plenty of restaurants. I also was glad to learn about the #17 bus which was very convenient and took me near to the convention center and to the Liberty bell. I was glad to not have a car as parking was limited.The place was clean. There were some dishes. I will warn folks about the bed frame as it has 8 legs, not 4. I stubbed my toes mightily on the legs that are in the middle of the bed.
