*** Please note that there are several flights of stairs to walk up to the apartment. It is well worth the climb, but is not handicapped accessible.
*** Since this apartment is centrally located in the Old Towne restaurant district, there is the potential of noise from area happenings, particularly in the evenings.
*** NO PARTIES allowed.
One of the area's most loved restaurants, Wabi Sabi is located on the bottom floor. During their business hours, you can simply walk downstairs and enjoy a delicious sushi or burger dinner. Top it off with a beer, wine or cocktail from the martini bar. Or order to-go and have a private meal upstairs in the comfort of the apartment.
Fun fact:
