The apartment is clean and has an amazing view of the city from the balcony. Its located in a lively part of the city. There are lots of bars and restaurants on the same street and in the nearby areas. This makes it perfect for people who are here to have a good time and go out, but if you are a family with children, this might not be the area for you. There is a lot of noise, especially throughout the night, as there are many drunk people in the street at night. You can hear this clearly from the bedrooms of the apartment. You should also be aware that this is an old building with a narrow, steep stairway. (In case you have a stroller or something that you need to transport down from the 4th floor every time you exit the apartment.)
There was a cockroach in the apartment one day, but the co-host was kind enough to come and remove it, and sprayed the apartment with something against insects.
Unfortunately, one of the big downsides to this apartment, is the intense smell coming from the sewer. The entire place smells rotten, and at times, we almost could not stand staying in the apartment because of the smell.
Our last night at the apartment was highly affected by our downstairs neighbors who started ripping their apartment apart. It was to the point that people from multiple apartments across the street came out onto their balcony and stared. We felt extremely unsafe, as this was not just someone drunk having a party, but people who were actually destroying stuff in the apartment. Our host was not very accommodating, and did not seem to understand the seriousness of the situation and assured us that it was just drunk people. We still don’t think this is the case, and are disappointed by the way our host handled this situation..
