The apartment is very nice. Although lacking AC, we were NEVER hot. The apartment is very spacious and fit our family of four with more than enough space to not feel crowded. The showers are great, but the apartment is not quiet. The front bedroom gets street noise. The internal bedroom gets noise from the occupants of the building. If you are early to bed and early to rise like us, you may be annoyed. Overall it is not anything that I would say is uncommon in a city. The location is great for pedestrian travelers or public transportation.
