The apartment is how it is pictured. On closer appearances, it needs a little upkeep with some paint and probably a new sofa or at least a sofa cover as it is dirty and I wouldn’t sit on it. With that said, everything else is clean…towels, sheets, counters, floors and was fine for a place to crash that is centrally located. The entire place looks like it is furnished by ikea to give you an idea…the clean lines of modern furnishings, but lack of quality of a real home away from home. We could not get the stovetop to work. Raul replied, but I told him it still didn’t work, but with no further answers. Don’t expect to cook in the kitchen with it. Besides that, there are no staples in the kitchen…no salt or pepper even, but there was sugar. I will say that Raul was very communicative and responded quickly. The building is secure and located central to walking of almost everything (10-20 min walks). There’s a school across the street as well as a restaurant so there is noise in the area, but nothing crazy. The apartment is a nice size for a couple friends or a family with a kid or 2.
