The unit is compact and has everything you need. It is central to public transport, restaurants and supermarket. The only downside is if you want natural ventilation it would require opening the only window in the unit to a noisy main street. The traffic is constant even at 3am. My husband and I don't like air-conditioning so a small fan would have been ideal. We tried to sleep with the front door open(it's safe) but unfortunately one of the neighbours smokes cigarettes. We did not cook in the apartment but from what I could see, the kitchen was fully equipped with the necessities.
