The apartment is really nice and clean...but the stairs to get to the apartment from the street is really creepy :). You would not say that you get in that apartment via those stairs. The only problem we had was with a bit of noise from the next door apartment. I think the walls were really clean as we were able to hear everything starting from when they got home late at night and them screaming in the morning. But overall, the apartment was a good value for the money
