We had a great time. Very nice location, and a nice appartment too. Room enough for five adults. Good beds and it is very quiet in the basement. Yes, the typical smell is there, but after a while we didn't notice. One of us didn't like the idea to sleep in the basement, so he slept on the sofa, which was fine. We are used to sleep with the windows open, and the idea that you can't open a window downstairs felt a bit uncomforatable (thoug we knew before). But there is a ventilation system and we slept very well. Bakery, shops, cafe's, everything on walking distance. And we really liked some beautiful passages in the area.
