The apartment is clean enough, but worn--like staying at grad student friends' house when they aren't at home. Since we were meeting cousins at the zoo, it was in a great location for us. It is also sun-drenched as promised.
Be warned that there is a neighbor who will very aggressively question you when she runs into you in the building. Unfortunately, we encountered her while we were struggling with check-in at 11 pm so it was not the pleasant start to our trip that we were hoping for. After that glitch, it was fine.
