Affordable Kitsch

The place is unique and affordable for the area. Our only gripe was the thin walls that allowed us to hear our neighbors as they had a bit of a party after the bars closed. Loud voices went undeterred by management well past 3:00 am. But it happens. I’m not mad at my host so much as my self-involved neighbors.
