The apartment is nice, in a great location, and has a very communicative and helpful host. Let me provide you a balanced review. It is in a building that is under construction, but more accurately a building in a pretty significant state of disrepair outside of the apartment itself. You will read that it is under construction, but that seems to be going slowly. There is a lot of graffiti not only outside the building, but inside the main entry hallways (how is that possible?). Right out the main entrance there is an old mattress that looks it was thrown there a long time ago and plenty of trash. So needless to say, when you arrive it is a bit surprising that is where you are spending quite a bit of money to stay. Once you go into the apartment it is in good condition and everything works well. I would say that the sofa bed is not very comfortable - as most are not. Additionally the second bedroom has some sort of thick mattress pad on it that slips off one side significantly and you need to adjust each day. Other reviews mentioned noise from the neighbors/ entry way but that did not really bother us (unless you sleep on the sofa bed/ living room which you hear everyone coming in and going out of the building easily). But everything in the apartment was pretty nice and worked just fine. You are very close to grocery stores, restaurants, and transport. Being honest it is a nice place, but under the same conditions, I will look for other places to stay next time I am in town.
