All in all, this is a clean and nicely renovated studio apartment in an old building undergoing some construction, at least at the time of my stay. As mentioned in other reviews, the odor in the bathroom was a bit much to deal with, but leaving the light/fan on for sometime before attempting to enter helped. As long as you're ok with a long climb up the stairs, the comfy bed and otherwise welcoming apartment are a great value! Yankel was one of the easiest and most proactive hosts to deal with. In all instances, his responses were practically instantaneous.
