The apartment is quite large and, though rather sparsely furnished, was very comfortable for a group of 5. During the day, the high ceilings in combination with open windows helped to keep the apartment cool. Beware that the immediate entryway/lobby in the apartment building and the stairs leading up to the apartment are very dirty (unlike the apartment, which was clean). Also, the apartment is on a busy street. We had to close the windows at night to minimize the noise from loud ambulances, late night drinking, and people going to and from the nearby club.
