Tucked off of a side street, the apartment isn't in the midst of the hustle and bustle but is not very far from it (about 8-10 min walk to the metro). The street of the apt itself is a bit eclectic - on one side is cute restaurants and a posh residential tower; on the side of the apartment is a shipping company (where trucks are loading and unloading packages all day) and a recycling/trash sorting location. The living room and rooms are bright and airy, but the bathroom and kitchen had dark mold around the sinks and the bathroom smelled very moldy. The elevator is also very old and small, and can only fit a maximum of 3 people at once. There is also an unexpected jolt anytime the elevator stops. Apparently nothing to be worried about, but just be aware.
Andrea was an absolute pleasure to work with however. Highly responsive and helpful - going above and beyond to help with whatever issues that came up. In the middle of our week-long stay, I discovered an ant problem in the bathroom and she immediately called in an exterminator to resolve the issue.
