9/10 Wonderful! (622 reviews)
It's spacious but the smell of the elevator and hallways are atrocious. Worst smell ever, like bad BO or worst. The apartment itself also had a weird odor. We had to go buy room spray. But it was convenient to have 2 bathrooms and 2 rooms especially for groups of 4 or more. If you need just a place to sleep it's OK.
