The location is great, a title hard to find in a maze of little streets, but walking distance to everywhere. The apartment is different, in a good way, not a cookie cutter hotel room. It is very spacious and has everything you might need (although I did not use the kitchen, so I cannot vouch for that). While it is true that there is a strong smell (it's a basement) I am sure that can be corrected. The other issue, related again to it being in a basement, is the lack of natural light, but I wasn't a problem to me, as I was out and about and only used the apartment to sleep and shower. Btw, the air conditioner is great.
