Marley’s place was very nice and clean, just like the photos showed. One problem with the apartment was the location. It is on the second floor so the noise from the street (particularly in the front bedroom) is very loud and there is a subway station right outside which people come out of at all times of the night. The other problem was the garbage smell in the second bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. This part of the apartment is directly above the garbage cans in the back and when the windows were open the smell was very strong. Since there is no AC, we had to choose between opening the windows and having the smell come in or leaving the windows closed and having the room heat up. We were there in late August so it wasn’t too bad but I can imagine it would be unpleasant on warmer nights. There was also no balcony either, I’m not sure where it was supposed to be.
