Exactly as described, good value! The washing machine in the apartment was very convenient. Very little noise from the courtyard at night, and the fan served to cover it. With this apartment being on the ground floor I was a little worried about noise from above, but need not have been, as there was either no apartment above us (I forgot to look!) or good soundproofing. As other reviews have said, the mattress is comfortable! Finally, Pierre and Leticia’s neighborhood recommendations were excellent.
