The apartment is a bit more beaten up than shown in photos. Everything is just a little old and worn out. My son open the curtain in his room and the rod fell right out of the wall onto him. If I was younger and staying with just my husband I think it would have been fine, but I would not recommend for a family. The neighborhood does not feel like a walk-able family friendly area. If you need the apartment for more than just a place to crash I would look elsewhere.
