Everything was expected as is. Small apartment, perfect for two. No closet space though, which ended up getting pretty messy in the room. Narrow stairs to the fifth floor (as expected). We stayed Sunday - Thurs. Noise wasn't too bad. We had the fan on, so it drowned it be noise. Only off putting thing was the sewage smell coming from bathroom. Keep door closed!! Maybe air fresheners could help. Construction outside was noisy in the morning. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay here. Thanks Marta!
