The inside of the apartment was as shown in the pictures. My error was not looking at Google maps street view. The outside picture does not represent the neighborhood. On the way to the apartment, a person stopped us and warned us of getting mugged. When I mentioned it to the host, his comment was that we looked like tourist so we were targets. We felt unsafe coming and going from the apartment. There was a police presence a block from the apartment that was there regularly monitoring the people. The apartment building is in less than average condition. There is graffiti all down the street. Please refer to Google maps street view before you make a decision to stay here. The host was fine and the air conditioner was acceptable. There is no microwave.
