Location was great. Apartment was 4th floor walk up which was hard to manage. We checked in after dark. No receptionist snd very dimly lit path. Apt had almost no kitchen amenities so cooking was out pf the question. Shower was like luxurious but hot water was limited. The thord person in our party took a cold shower.
