I spent a week at the apartment. Located inside a courtyard, it is quiet in the night, as courtyard neighbor is an office and people leave after work hours. I also found it secure. On the downside, the apartment does not receive direct light except very early in the morning. The lighting is deficient, I was not able to read for instance. Although there's a sitting area it doesn't have a cozy feeling -- nor light. Appliances ok, coffee maker and electric pot but not good for cooking more than breakfast; there's no stove just one electrical burner instead.
