We had a great stay at the Orange Underground. The apartment is very cute and nicely decorated. Everything was very clean and ready for our stay. The on-street parking was relatively easy. It is just a few blocks walk from the riverfront so we were able to take advantage of that for a couple of meals. No noise issues either from the street or the apartment above. Would definitely recommend to anybody looking to stay in the area.
