"The apartment was very clean, well equipped and nicely decorated. The sky lights let in lots of natural light. One downside was there is a business working half way up the stairs and I’m pretty sure they filet fish and the smell in the stairwell was horrible. There is a big industrial fan blowing rotten fish smell in the stairwell as you walk by which was nauseating. Otherwise we were happy with the stay."
