We really loved the vibe of this place. The exposed brick and beams gave it so much character, and the space was decorated beautifully. The unit was extremely clean upon arrival. It felt very cozy and thoughtfully styled. The location was fantastic and a short Uber ride to downtown, and it was also very close to Marathon Music Works, which is exactly why we booked it.
One of the highlights of our entire trip was the speakeasy in the basement. It was absolutely amazing and easily the best part of our stay. The bed was extremely comfortable, although a little small if you are used to sleeping in a king like us. The unit was also very quiet overall. You could hear a little activity here and there, but nothing disruptive. There is a train nearby, but the noise was minimal and did not bother us.
The main downside was how cold the space was. The garage door style opening to the bar area is not weatherproofed, and you can actually feel cold air blowing in through the cracks. The curtain helped somewhat, but the leather couch is right up against that area, and it was almost unbearable to sit on because of the cold. We shivered the whole time while watching TV. This design choice was hard to understand, especially during colder weather. There is also no table and chairs, so we had to use the living room area, which made the cold even more noticeable.
The patio was not in use during our stay since it is December, but based on how much cold air came into the unit, I imagine it may not be very quiet when people are out on the patio. It is something future guests may want to keep in mind.
The large TV was a nice touch, although it was unplugged when we arrived and we had to plug it in ourselves.
Overall, this is a really unique and stylish place in an excellent location, and we enjoyed our stay. With better weatherproofing and a small seating area, it would easily be a five-star experience.
