The area leaves some to be desired. Rundown buildings and vacant lots in the area give it a dark, abandoned feeling. The apartment itself is nice and clean, nicely furnished, with plenty of space. The air conditioning worked well, considering the weather was very hot when we were there. It is up on the third floor of the apartment building, up a narrow winding staircase. If you have a lot of baggage, be aware of this. Hosts were responsive and willing to take care of any issue. We got accidentally locked out of a bedroom (the interior doors had keyed locks on them), and the hosts sent a handyman right away to fix the issue. I think the listing could have been a bit more descriptive and forthcoming, but overall a perfectly good experience.
