If you are a very budget-conscious traveler, whose body is not too large, and you can put up with a number of issues, then this is a large,inexpensive and conveniently located apartment that might be just fine. However, I am over 200 lbs with wide shoulders, so I could not easily walk down the very narrow hall from the kitchen to the bedroom. That narrow hall is the only place to hang your clothes; opening its closet doors further restricts your movement to the point where using the closet is very nearly impossible for someone my size. Plus, the toilet takes 10 solid minutes to refill per flush; using the bathroom can take easily 1/2 an hour or more. The neighborhood is extremely noisy. Thus opening the windows invites tons of noise inside. But there is no A/C, so that poses an added layer of problems. *Many* times, I would approach the building and there were 1 or more people just loitering around the front door, trying to catch a free ride in (I didn't let anyone else in) -- this had me concerned.
