The property is in a building that needs some significant improvements. The entry opens to a dirty staircase that is narrow and steep. It is the first of 2. There is no elevator. Each floor of the property has 4 apartments. We were on the 2nd floor. The inside of the property was mostly as described and would have been acceptable for a short stay had it not been for the building itself, the parking lot behind the building, and the location next to an alley. There was much car noise and people traffic from about 10 pm - 3am that negatively impacted sleep. The alley, which is narrow, is quite heavily traveled. In addition, the loiters in the parking lot created an unsafe atmosphere, especially after sunset. There was evidence that one car in the parking lot had at least one window broken out. Fortunately, neither of our cars were harmed. Communication with the host was fine and proximity to the restaurants and shopping was very convenient. We actually left 1 night early due to concerns about our safety and the safety of our cars.
