This whole experience was awesome. The apartment is gorgeous, new, clean and comfortable. We went for a show at Duett’s (the bar/restaurant downstairs) and it was so fun and easy to go get a drink and some dinner, come back up and change, then go right back downstairs for the show. I would 1000 times recommend the exact experience and we’ll be back.
