The Penn State Theme and decorations were nice, and my husband really enjoyed them. I personally loved the character of the old building, and the solid, original wood features such as the floors, stair rails, doors etc, which were the original to the house. The appliances were new, and many provisions were made for our comfort while staying there. The lights in the dining room and kitchen were excellent. We loved that we could walk to everything that we were interested in such as the park, restaurants, and shops.

The living room furniture was practical, but not necessarily comfortable. It was a little dark in appearance, but we did appreciate the black out curtains. The bathroom was very small, and the toilet was VERY close to the bathtub, but we managed.

I loved the location. I loved the aesthetic of it!

I didn’t like that the main door to the building couldn’t be locked. The door to the apartment we stayed in was very fragile and there was a crack through it. I was worried all night about how someone could easily just break into the apartment and there would be nothing I could do to keep my daughter and I safe. It also had the scent of old ashtray. I don’t smoke cigarettes so I’m very sensitive to the smell. The entry way when you first walk in smelled very strong of cigarettes and unfortunately, the apartment had the lingering ashtray smell. Even after cleaning my cpap machine, when I got home, I was still stuck with the ashtray smell in my cpap machine for 3 co consecutive nights before it finally went away. Outside of my security concerns and the smell, the apartment was beautiful. The furniture wasn’t very comfortable but the beds were fine. It was definitely a well decorated place though.
