"Had some trouble with the contract that has to be signed before check in can happen. Finally got it to work by host sending in a text. After that, everything was smooth sailing! Parking in garage across the street ended up being very affordable. They did offer handicapped parking on first floor since no elevator only stairs. Rooftop pool was very nice! Room was completely dark and quiet which I LOVED! Host warns in description about street noise, but that wasn’t an issue for us at all! No...
