There are 2 code gates you need to access to get in the apartment making it very safe. The view is on the inside of the building. It is on the first floor, but was extremely quiet. The shower was the best I have been in; very good temp control and nice water pressure. There were large windows you can use to cool off the room in summer days. A market was open for late hours down the street. And three metros stations all with in 10 minutes walk.
