The apartment is quite old and worn down. It's oriented toward an inner yard, which could make it a quiet place, but then some neighbors turn on TV so loud that it can be heard few blocks away (midnight or 1am).
Most of the stuff in the apartment was just OK or even worse. It desperately needs an overall refurbishing.
Probably the only upside were the hosts and communication with them. Very helpful, willing to come and arrange a technician when water heater was broken, willing to answer questions.
