The location of this stay, while amazing and close to dozens of fun bars/restaurants, definitely did not make up for the condition of the apartment. Firstly, the main and back entrances were almost never locked by other tenants (and left open for anyone to walk in) so security was a huge concern. Secondly, the photos of the interior were either heavily photoshopped, or this building is MUCH older than depicted and had far less upkeep than from when the photos were taken. Lastly, the common areas (hallways and staircases) reeked of both cigarettes and marijuana after the listing stated, very explicitly, that no smoking was allowed at all.
Overall it would’ve been cheaper, safer, and cleaner for us to just get a hotel room.
