Although the building exterior looks a bit shabby, the apartment is absolutely beautiful. It's decorated in a lovely, minimalist style with awesome architectural plans on the walls in the den area upstairs. This may be the cleanest space I've ever rented through AirBnB. The large refrigerator is brand new and there are lots of handy utensils. There is also a water filter, the first I've seen in BA. Another LARGE PLUS is the location of the electric outlets. I could actually recharge my electronics without using piles of books as support.
