The neighborhood is sketchy. The apartment is a walk-up --- 37 steps (if memory serves correct). Not much fun when dealing with luggage.
There is no air conditioning. Let me repeat that - THERE IS NO AIR CONDITIONING. If I had known that there was no air conditioning I wouldn't have booked it. Absolutely insufferable in May. I can only imagine what it would be like in the summer months.
The front door doesn't close properly. We had to have a lesson on how to open it. It is old, tired and in need of repair just like the rest of the apartment.
The "television" is smaller than the computer monitor on my desk.
I could go on and on with what was wrong but I'll stop here. I can not recommend this apartment under any circumstances.
