The apartment was clean in general. Not very far to walk to shops and church. The benefit of having a washer was very welcomed. However. Be aware that first floor apartment does not really mean first floor. It was up a long circular stairway. No screens on windows and no air conditioning so windows needed to be open for air. We were eaten alive at night by bugs when we went to bed all over our arms, shoulders and face. Could really use updating of linens and mattress. The sheets on the bed were "pilled" so that it felt like sleeping on sand paper. Towels were missed matched and older than I would make available to guests.
