The first thing that immediately stood out about the place is its great location: the distance to buses, subway, shopping malls, and restaurants is just minutes by walk. Yet, the apartment is located in a very quiet area full of traditional small buildings and narrow (yet not too steep, compared to other places) streets.
The apartment itself is showing its age, but reasonably clean (modulo cats being cats).
The shared living room is quite comfortable if one needs to take rest or work.
