    "The size of the apartment is not accurate in the photos shown in the listing. It look way bigger in the photos. The beds are uncomfortable and have old dirty matresses. The bed sheets and pillows are old and passed useful life. Bath room is small and it was not optimal. The kitchen barely fits one person. Overall, for a family with children this is not recommended"
