The apartment is in a working class neighborhood with little parking close by. However, there are metro stations near it and a great pedestrian-only street where there are tons of stores, eateries, bars, etc.
The main detraction, for us at least because we had a lot of heavy luggage, was that there is no elevator in the building, so you are forced to carry luggage up four flights of stairs. Also, the bathroom is not for larger people.
Other than that, it served us well.
