This place is great - clean and exactly as depicted in the pictures. As the other reviews have said, the area is somewhat transitional. There are some nice apartments in the area and some homeless shelters. The alley and entryway to the apartment are not the nicest but the inside of the apartment is great. The bed is comfortable, and the lowest floor of the apartment is still well above the street level. Our only issue was we found sleeping in was challenging there because several windows do not have curtains so it is bright in the morning. At night there is normal city noise, though each of the nights we were there, there were 2-3 fire trucks, which made me wonder if there was a fire station in the area.
