The apartment is conveniently located steps away from the Ximen shopping district and just a few minutes walk from the Ximen subway stop. Myriad shops, restaurants, and bars are in easy walking distance, including the famous "Modern Toilet" restaurant. The room was quiet and clean with a functional washing machine and two air conditioners. There is a porch/covered balcony with two windows on which one can smoke or dry clothes.

Unfortunately, the curtains weren't light-proof blackout curtains and the room seemed a bit smaller than in the photographs. The "desk" provided is only about 12 inches deep and is therefore unusable as a desk if you intend to type on a laptop. On the whole, I liked this room, which was a good value, and I'd stay there again.
