Pros:
Location, nice neighborhood close to Notre dame.
Cons:
The building is shabby (not shabby chic) and musty, and the apartment is very small.
It was advertised as a two bedroom that sleeps six, but it's more like a small one bedroom that sleeps four (maximum). The second "bedroom" is more like a den or small dining room with a trundle bed. Unless you're in the one actual bedroom, you're sleeping in the shared space of the living room/den.
We had five in our party and it felt like we were living on top of each other. If you're a family this might be alright since privacy may not be an issue. Otherwise, understand that you will be sharing very close quarters and one tiny bathroom.
The fold out couch/bed in the living room is worn out and badly in need of replacement. It was uncomfortable to sleep on.
Communication with the managers was ok, although several different people randomly responded to my messages.
Great location. Very accurate photos and description. Communicated with several different people which was confusing. I would recommend this apartment to others.
