WS Old Town Apartments

WS Old Town Apartments Overview

You know what struck me first about WS Old Town Apartments? It’s not trying to be something it isn’t. Walking up to the building, you get this immediate sense that you’re staying somewhere with actual character – not one of those cookie-cutter places that could be anywhere in the world. The location really delivers on that old town promise, and I mean genuinely delivers. You’re right in the thick of things without being on top of a nightclub, if you know what I mean.

The apartments themselves are honestly pretty solid for what you’re paying. They’ve got this lived-in quality that feels authentic rather than staged – like someone actually designed these spaces for people to, well, live in temporarily. The kitchenettes are way more functional than I expected (I actually cooked a couple meals, which says something), and the beds are comfortable enough that I didn’t spend the first night tossing around trying to find the right position. What I really appreciated was how they handled the whole check-in situation – none of that awkward lobby hovering while they “locate your reservation.” The staff seems to actually know what’s going on, which is rarer than it should be these days.

Here’s the thing though – and this is important – the neighborhood gets lively in the evenings, especially on weekends. Not obnoxiously loud, but there’s definitely life happening outside your windows. Personally, I found it charming (the sound of people actually enjoying themselves), but if you’re someone who needs absolute quiet to sleep, maybe pack some earplugs or request a room facing the courtyard. The walls are decent but not soundproof. Also, parking can be a bit of an adventure – there’s street parking nearby, but you might find yourself walking a block or two during busy periods. Small price to pay for being this centrally located, honestly. The whole area has this walkable quality where you start noticing little details – the way the light hits the buildings in the late afternoon, the cafe on the corner that locals actually frequent, the fact that you can grab groceries or a decent bottle of wine without getting in a car. It’s the kind of place where you end up staying an extra day just because leaving feels premature.
