Locke de Santa Joana
This gem was hidden in the city, the area was bustling and the property felt an escape from the city rush. There is a speakeasy on the property that felt like it came straight out of the 80s…such a good time…. One word of advice for the black ppl that plan to visit, bring your own wash cloths.
