The place was lovely. It was musty smelling but it seemed to be due to the moisture in the air and the old buildings but that was not a problem really. I do worry about mold because I have multiple autoimmune diseases and in the U.S., the musty smell equals mold. I did NOT see any mold. The courtyard was the reason we chose this property but it was not practical for us. Firstly, we chose it because we had our puppy but he cannot go down the stairs alone so we had to carry him each time. Secondly, the sign says to be quiet because the courtyard is surrounded by all the other apartments and the noise is very loud so we could not even enjoy the courtyard. Otherwise the location was amazing! It is close to everything and it is in a beautiful area!
