The apartment was as pictured and very clean. The building doesn't have an elevator, so be aware you will have to lug bags upstairs a few flights. The location is smack in the lively tourist area. It was great to be near the energy of the tourist areas. During my stay the noise all died down at a reasonable time, so no issues with going to sleep. The bed and pillows were super comfortable - probably one of the very best airbnb beds I've experienced. Check in was smooth.
