The apartment was as advertised. It was spacious and convenient for our family of four. It’s in a very ethnically diverse area. Although the apartment is a bit far from most tourist attractions, it is within 5-10 min walk of metro and major train stations. We enjoyed our stay overall.
We had a couple of minor issues. One was the sewage smell that others have mentioned. It didn’t bother us too much and according to Guillaume and Maya, it’s a building-wide, rather than apartment-specific, issue that the building management is addressing. The motion sensor for the light in the stairway was out so we resorted to using our phones for light (again, not a big issue).
