The apartment was clean and as it appeared in the photos. It is bright and has a window that can be opened. The last set of stairs before arriving at #19 is very dark and difficult to navigate at night. The light doesn’t come on on the way up the stairs, but only after you have reached the top landing. The floor just below is only a bit better. The front door mechanism did not operate well when entering the building. It often jammed and took several tries to open. When exiting, the door did not close properly. Both glass panels in the front door window were shattered (it appeared they’d been struck) and went unrepaired which didn’t inspire a feeling of safety for a single female traveler. I must add that the bed was especially uncomfortable as the mattress was literally sunken in the middle.
