6/10
Third floor apartment (be prepared for steep, narrow stairs) in an older brownstone that is not quite as advertised. Neighborhood is great, close to a couple of restaurants and a great coffee shop. Walk to red line station is about 10-15 minutes. Unfortunately, the unit just feels like a tired old place with some new paint. Bathroom floor tile is cracked with dirty grout; tub enamel is worn in places, and the faucet pushes out of the wall leaving exposed pipe. Toilet ran the entire stay, and while the owner was super responsive, they admitted that they had known it was an issue and would fix it after our stay. Kitchen has newer sink and backsplash, but older appliances and old worn looking cabinets. Biggest issue for us was the whole unit air conditioning never kept up with the summer heat and most of our stay the inside temp was between 80 and 85 degrees. While each bedroom had a window AC unit that helped, the front bedroom never really seemed to cool enough for a comfortable nights sleep. It was frustrating to not be able to spend much time in the main living space because it was so stuffy and hot. Not at all what I expect from a place advertised as updated and luxurious. The ad for this unit also lists a washer and dryer, but these were definitely not anywhere to be found. Overall I would say that the place is okay, but I would avoid it in the summer, and would definitely not stay if you are looking for luxurious and truly updated.
