The apartment met our needs with its proximity to the metro and train station. We also walked to many popular tourist sites. We would have felt safer if the outside hallways were brighter and with less trash. There was also an odor on walking into the building. The inside overhead lights were harsh especially in the foyer and dining area. The apartment lacked any warm, homey touches; wardrobe had a broken handle which caused a cut, few pictures or decorative touches. The description on airbnb included a common area which was little more than a foyer with a cot covered as a sofa.
