When we arrived at the apartment late evening there was a strange smell. When the owner Diego came up the next day, it appeared to be gas emissions from the gas stove. Therefore the strange smell. Really bad start of our holiday and dangerous to be in gas spill. It surprised us that the owner took it so relaxed and did not seem badly affected by it. We were very affected by it and a bit “shaky” several days after thinking about what could have happened. So be aware of the stove when you get in and out of the apartment.
If we have to say something positive. It was an ok decorated apartment with everything we needed. However, a kettle would be nice so you quickly can make a cup of instant coffee. Fine shopping nearby. We did not use the neighborhood and surrounding area, but we took the subway down to Soho and Brooklyn, where we would rather hang out.
