The apartment was adequate at best. The clean sheets had not been put on the bed and they had some visible stains, the thin cover on the futon/sofa had a stain, the smoke alarm had been removed, there was only a bare light bulb in the light on one beside stand and no light on the other side of the bed. There was one painting on the wall and some plastic tiny cactuses on the dining room table and that was the only effort to decorate the aparment. The entrance was through a gloomy garage under the second floor apartments, the neigborhood was sketchyand there were three locks on the apartment's entrance door which added to the feeling that it wasn't a safe neighborhood . And there was no welcome book with instructions or suggested places to eat nearby.
