Pros: The apartment smells great, was pretty clean, and had excellent air conditioning in the back (bigger) bedroom and the living room. The kitchen contained all the things required to make a meal, and the fridge, microwave, and oven were clean. The apartment was very close to the metro and many coffee shops as well as a huge grocery store, which was great! Lots of strong locks on the doors and the windows are gated. Seemed pretty safe. The apartment also has great water pressure in the shower. The beds were also VERY comfortable and I slept very soundly.

Cons: The wifi is terrible, if you want to stream netflix, hbo, or any sort of television, it is very slow in the living room, and doesn't work at all in the back bedroom with the air conditioner. Our computers and cell phones (all new) couldn't even pick up a signal there to check email or load basic web pages. Additionally, the smaller room with no air conditioner or windows gets very hot even though there are fans. I also had some encounters with some big centipedes and crawly bugs. Not a big deal, but if you hate bugs, might not work for you. The bathroom also looks like it is undergoing some renovations, has spackle on the walls, the paint is spotty and the ceiling fan/exhaust doesn't work, so taking a shower contributes to the heat and humidity that already strains the air conditioners.
