There is a public ashtray/trashcan right next to the front door of the apartment, so unfortunately the place constantly smells of cigarette smoke. Other then that the place is clean and surprisingly quiet considering how close it is to the boulevard. The neighborhood is slightly sketchy but it’s not that bad. As long as you don’t leave valuables in your car. Which you shouldn’t be doing anyway. All in all, the place is very reasonably priced for what you get.
