Verdict
Book

You'll find a well-located apartment that works well for groups, but expect some wear and outdated furnishings. Five reviews mention stained floors or building odors, and several note thin towels and aging decor, but these issues don't appear consistently across low ratings to block your booking. Lola responds quickly to problems.
