The word “new” does not belong in the description. This is a tired building in need of maintenance and on first sight seemed rather dodgy. We had no bad experiences but felt a certain uneasiness about the location. We were panhandled on the street and the apartment was one stop away from food or restaurants but access to trams was very easy. The advice about noise was spot on. The only time it was quiet was from 00:00 until 04:30 when the trams stopped operating and if there were not too many sirens in the night. This is of course a big city with the attendant issues.
