We chose this unit based on the photos of the inside - looked new and roomy, and it was. We did have some concerns about the neighborhood but after reading the other reviews we really weren't overly concerned. Thankfully, we had no issues. The unit is far larger on the inside than you would ever think when you see pictures from the outside, and the place was well appointed with everything, except there is a lack of lamps in any of the rooms which was a bit inconvenient. It only took us about 20 minutes to get anywhere we wanted or needed to go in the main part of the city, and we didn't stay in the area for neighborhood appeal. We stayed based on inside accommodations and location to the city.
