The apartment is not in an ideal neighborhood with many men loitering outside on the street in front of the building gate and ok the street outside the living room window. The apartment is on the ground floor so you will see people from the living room window and hear everything in the SHARED courtyard which is next to the bedroom, people passing through, people throwing out bottles and trash, the building taking out the trash early in the morning. As well, you will be able to hear people talking in the hallway and when people flush the toilet upstairs, you will hear the water. The floors were not clean and many of the dishes were not very clean as well. The bedroom has a shower but because the apartment is on the ground floor and facing the courtyard, there is not a lot of sunlight and the bedroom is damp, humid, and dingy. It seemed like the cleaner tried to clean but didn’t do a good job with it.
As well the bed looked old and didn’t feel very clean. Because it was so humid in the room due to the shower and lack of sunlight, the sheets began to have a humid scent after some days.
Jane is really responsive and kind (left a bottle of wine for me!) And really tries to make the apartment inviting, but unfortunately it is not ideal for all the reasons listed above. The only plus, is it is near the APC Surplus store and in front of the 4 line but even then, it is not the best neighborhood.
