The location is fantastic and probably trumps all the negatives. If you're wanting to go to the market you have to cross the street twice and walk down the street. It did seem like they were in the process of adding an elevator/bridge in a more convenient location, but I'm not sure when that will be completed. The apartment needs some TLC that I'm hoping the owner addresses after my review. If you're planning to sleep in or have the windows open to cool the apartment forget it. The construction next door creates so much noise and dust that both are next to impossible. There is an AC unit in the living room and bedroom, but unfortunately for us the one in the bedroom wasn't vented correctly so we couldn't use it. Also if you're a coffee drinker bring your own pods. There was only enough in the apartment for 2 people to have 1 cup each day of our stay.
