This unit was spotless. The unit also felt bigger than the pictures showed. Lisa provided laundry soap, dish soap, toilet paper etc. That was a nice touch. The apartment is in a great location. The tube is a few feet from the front door. There are also many bus lines out front. We walked to many tourist sites on our trip but I would not say it is a tourist area. It is noisy in the living room because it is on a busy street. If someone is sleeping in the living room they should bring earplugs. We are happy we stayed there. If you stay there check out Mercato Metroplitano a groovy market to get dinner at a few blocks from the unit.
