Very convenient to get anywhere on the tube. Neighborhood is a bit run down. (Example: park across the street for kids playground has people smoking in it, dog poop, and beer cans.) But seems safe enough, and we had a two year old with us.
I believe the apt has changed somewhat from early reviews. It now does not seem at all occupied by the owners, and it is managed by a management company. They were great - we were over 1.5 hours late and Carlos was there to greet us and very kind about the whole thing.
We would definitely stay there again.
Also the steps in the picture look scary, but those are only the top floor steps to the attic. The others are all carpeted, not too steep, and have baby gates.
