The Grant by Black Swan

Bad construction right below

I intentionally chose this place for its urban aesthetic. The exposed brick, bohemian, NYC-artist vibe (SCAD is just around the corner) took me right back to my 20s. I rented the two-bedroom unit on the second floor. It’s a spacious apartment, not a hotel room, and that’s what I want. It was clean and well-equipped with a great kitchen (full fridge and dishwasher), washer and dryer, sofa bed, nice TV, and two full bathrooms. Truly ideal for a family. So why not five stars? A few reasons: First, the smell. There was a strong, musty odor that really lingered in the air. Something old, antique, maybe water damage? I noticed a similar smell in other buildings nearby, so it might be an age thing. Still, it was unpleasant enough that I had to use air fresheners and spray several times a day. It was especially bad at night. Second, the noise. On the weekend, the street noise gets intense! Constant revving engines, loud music, the whole deal. Definitely something to be aware of if you're a light sleeper. Third, the elevator was out of order for a few days, which was inconvenient. Minor note: some of the cookware wasn’t as clean as it should’ve been. Not all, but a few items needed washing before use. Overall, pound for pound, it’s in a great location, feels secure, and the price was fair. The photos are accurate for the most part, though they can’t capture the smell or the weekend noise. So close to being fantastic. I don’t think I’d stay again, but it’s not a bad option.

Stayed before in the same unit. And loved it!

Excellent location and condition. Parking is poor.

I think it's a great value considering the location.

It was wonderful! The service was great, it was very safe when I went and for it to be located downtown it was quiet. Would definitely book again!

Absolutely amazing very simple

Muy limpia cómoda, todo céntrico restaurante

The place was amazing, super clean and just a walk away from everything. Definitely will be back

This apartment is great. Location is perfect rand the place is huge, well equipped, good air con comfy beds everything you need. The downside is the noise! Didn’t have a good nights sleep on any of our 3 nights :-(

I enjoyed every bit ‼️

Great location, very comfortable bed. Really love the big kitchen and bathroom.

Great location, sparkling clean totally smooth checkin checkout!

This was a really cool property. Very nice inside and convenient to a lot of areas, the ferry, restaurants. Have to do street parking mostly or walk from a garage.

Excellent location and very comfortable 2 bedroom apartment at an incredibly fair price! The location is extremely walkable, parking was not fun, we needed a car to visit a family member 10 minutes away in the hospital but if you are just visiting the city you absolutely don’t need a car and should try to avoid bringing one. Communication was amazing, apartment was well stocked and very clean. Loved the Apple TV! Thank you for a great stay!

The location was perfect. Right in the middle of everything. Very walkable. Parking wasn't terrible, but not great. There's a garage a couple blocks away. If you have a lot of bags, this could pose a challenge. The apartment itself is GREAT. Big, clean, high ceilings, urban loft vibe, and the bed is the most comfortable thing I've ever slept on. The only negative I have is the noise. The reviews I read alluded to this. But WOW, was it noisy. I cannot understate how noisy it was. LOUD. Cars driving by thumping and vibrating and blasting music at all hours of the night. People whooping and hollering on the street. It didn't quiet down until after 4 am. But even with the crazy amount of noise, we slept like babies because of those beds and would totally stay again.

Wonderful stay the only down side was no parking spaces. Other than that great clean service.

Incredible spot for our family. We had 2 couples and 2 kids and it was great!

On the first night of a two-night stay my son's bed collapsed into the bed frame while he was sleeping. It was very frightening and he could have been hurt. There was a dead roach outside the bedroom door as well. The response from the hotel was disappointing to say the least

My wife and I spent whole week in The Grant and had a great time. The apartment had everything we needed (pots, pans, coffee machine, microwave, washing machine... you name it). We like to eat our vegetables in the morning and to have some small snacks after night out, so we shopped in Kroger (20 minutes walk), not too bad! Due to the location (could not be better), there was some noise coming from the outside (our apartment was right above the street), but the bedroom was inside the apartment and we had no problem sleeping. I bet the apartments across the hall were quieter, but no big deal, really. We usually stay in B&B, and this was great for us. Would go back, definitely.
