The apartment was perfumed to the point of causing headaches; there were 2 plug-in air fresheners in a 500 sq ft area. Plastic bed mattress caused uncomfortable overheating while trying to sleep. The bus stop is right outside the bedroom window and the city put a bench there which attracted homeless persons at 5 am. The bathroom was squeezed into a tiny area. The door was 20 inches; the shower curtain didn’t fit. The tv did not work.

Essence is highly responsive and addressed some unforeseen issues immediately and with tact. The place is cozy. The location is fantastic-walkable to numerous restaurants, bars, museums, art galleries, coffee shops. Neighborhood is safe-and I have stayed or lived in a lot of cities-I am confident walking around this neighborhood. The value for your money is here. Recommended. Thanks Essence!
