Compared to all of the other available options at 3-4 times the price, this apartment was well worth it. The neighborhood is pretty quiet. Not walkable to major attractions, but they were easily accessible via the nearby subway. Many good restaurants around. The neighborhood felt extremely safe to us, even walking around in the evening.
All that being said, the place is small (fine for 2 people and luggage), and not the cleanest (mold/mildew stains throughout bathroom). The issue is likely that there is no ventilation. There’s is only one small window, so no cross breeze at all. I think a dehumidifier would be very helpful. There is no air conditioner, but two ceiling fans (one didn’t work while we were there), plus two additional fans. During our stay in October, the fans were enough to keep us cool at night but the humidity was a bit less comfortable. Shower was ok; water was only warm (not hot) in the evening and not even warm in the morning. Bathroom sink barely put out water.
