The apartment is great, much bigger than I expected, it is actually very spacious. The kitchen is perfectly equipped, the bed is rather comfortable, and the balcony is very nice and fits two people and a table perfectly. The AC works very well to warm up the place. The smell is still there but it's not that strong and you really stop paying attention to it after 2 minutes. We were very happy with this apartment and would definitely stay again. Thank you!
