Great location and great apartment. I read others post about the smell but figured it couldn't be that bad because I eat fish all the time. The apartment itself did not smell while we were in it. The smell in the hall was so bad that we ran through while holding our breath. It was unbearable. We kept the door shut to keep out the smell and did not have a problem with the smell inside the apartment. If that smell were inside the apartment, I think we would have had to find another place. I would not book this again knowing there is any risk that the smell could be inside. We were lucky.
