It is as the pictures show. Being on the ground floor, we couldn't properly air out the mold smell while we were out as the windows could not be left open, but we shouldn't have had to worry about that. Privacy is limited with the windows open and you hear everything from people walking past as well as traffic. The windows do block out most sound when closed and shutters block out the light at night.
It is at least a 10 minute walk to any tourist attraction.
