Curtis Bashaw Jr., a seemingly healthy 9-year-old, collapses and goes into respiratory and cardiac arrest.
By JOHN FRANK
Published May 4, 2007
BROOKSVILLE -- For years, Jennifer Britton looked forward to Thursday. It was the day she and her husband, Michael Britton, planned to leave for a belated honeymoon.
The two married Aug. 20, 2005, but just recently scraped together the money to celebrate the nuptials. Four days, three nights on a cruise from Fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas. Paradise.
But when Thursday morning came, Jennifer Britton didn't want to wake up.
Waking up meant facing the tragedy of the night before when her only child, 9-year-old son Curtis Bashaw Jr., unexpectedly collapsed and then, minutes later, died at Brooksville Regional Hospital.
"It was supposed to be my honeymoon and now my baby's dead," she said in an emotional interview Thursday afternoon.
The toughest part, she said, is not knowing what happened to a child she described as healthy and active in youth sports.
"We don't know. We don't know," the 29-year-old told friends who called and asked the one question she wants answered.
The Hernando County Sheriff's Office and the state Department of Children and Families are investigating, as is the normal procedure for an unexplained death, a sheriff's spokeswoman said. But as of Thursday evening, they could offer little definitive information. A preliminary autopsy showed no signs of trauma, the spokeswoman said.
According to family members and investigators, here's what they do know:
Curtis, a third-grader at Brooksville Elementary School, was getting ready for bed Wednesday night at his mother's house in Brooksville. It was just before 9 p.m. and Curtis was arguing with his mother and stepfather, Michael Britton, about the early bedtime.
Curtis turned to walk toward his bedroom and that's when he fell, or collapsed. When his stepfather went to pick him up and put him in bed, Curtis' eyes rolled back in his head and he began to gasp for air.
His parents called 911. At 9:04 p.m., he was taken to the hospital. At 9:24 p.m., he was pronounced dead.
Investigators say he was hyperventilating, vomiting and losing consciousness. At the hospital, he went into respiratory arrest and then cardiac arrest.
"We are all in shock," said Jessica Bashaw, who is married to Curtis Bashaw Sr., the 9-year-old's father. "I treated him like he was one of my own. He was more than a stepson to me."
Bashaw said the two families shared time with Curtis. His mother and stepmother described him as an active child who played baseball and soccer and loved watching Star Wars.
"Especially the spaceships," Bashaw said. "He loved the spaceships."
He also liked animals, his mother said. Gorillas were his favorite, though he was mesmerized by dolphins after a recent trip to SeaWorld.
"We were going to go to Discovery Cove," Jennifer Britton said. "He wanted to swim with the dolphins."

Cardinals have a favorable schedule through remaining gamesPosted Friday, August 31, 2012, at 9:22 PM
The St. Louis Cardinals may be hobbling their way through a treacherous 10-game road trip right now, but the rest of the season looks quite favorable for them.
With 30 games remaining as of Sept. 1, only 12 will be against teams above the .500 mark.
There will be five games in September against the Washington Nationals, a team with a healthy lead in their division, but still very much in need of continuing their winning ways. They have the best record in baseball for a reason.
In the middle of the month, the Cardinals visit the Los Angeles Dodgers for a four-game series that could have a lasting effect as well. As of Thursday, Aug. 30, the Dodgers sit one game behind the Cardinals for the second wild-card berth.
With both teams in the thick of a playoff race, that series could have lasting connotations for how the remainder of the season plays out.
The Cardinals' last series against an above-.500 team will be another big one. They close out the season with three games against the Cincinnati Reds.
If the Cardinals can move in closer in the standings, it could offer them a huge opportunity to close a gap they have struggled to tighten all season long.
On the other hand, if they don't win against the Reds, it could be good news for other teams close by in the wild-card hunt.
The Cardinals have 18 games remaining against sub-.500 teams and must seize that opportunity to put some ground between themselves and the competition.
They have three games each remaining against the New York Mets, Milwaukee Brewers, Chicago Cubs and San Diego Padres as well as six against the Houston Astros.
There's no reason the Cardinals shouldn't be able to win at least 12 of those games, and frankly, they should do better than that. With that said, anything can happen in a playoff race.
October is never a guarantee. All you have to do is make the cut. Once you make the cut, anything can happen as Cardinals fans should remember well from 2011.

Walt Jocketty has done an outstanding job putting together a team in Cincinnati. Year-after-year he gets the most out of the money he puts into a team.

Frankly I don't want the Cards to play the Nats at all. Might as just forfeit those games because that's basically what they did this past week. Maybe then no one will get hurt and they can get healthy. Molina, Furcal and Beltran all went down this week and the team was lost on the mound, in the field, and the batter's box.

Victory: Utah Ends Mandatory Cat and Dog Pound Seizures
Update: On Saturday, March 27, Utah's governor signed the bill into law, formally amending the state's pound-seizure law. This means that animal shelters are no longer required to turn over animals for use in cruel experiments. Hooray!
Thanks in large part to e-mails, letters, and phone calls from thousands of compassionate supporters, Utah legislators voted by an overwhelming majority to amend a state law so that government-run animal shelters will not be forced to sell dogs and cats to laboratories for use in cruel and deadly experiments upon request. Once the governor signs the bill, Utah will no longer have the dubious distinction of being one of only three states in the country that still mandate that animal shelters engage in this shameful practice. The new law also lengthens the required holding period for animals in shelters and mandates that shelters make greater efforts to find the guardians of lost animals.
These positive changes come on the heels of a recent PETA undercover investigation inside laboratories at the University of Utah. The shocking investigation revealed that each year, more than 100 homeless cats and dogs from government-run animal shelters in Utah are sold to the university for use in invasive, painful, and deadly experiments. In one instance, the university bought a pregnant cat from a local animal shelter and injected chemicals into her kitten's brains, causing fluid to build up inside their heads. All the kittens died.

With this new law, companion animals in Utah—and the people who care for them—can rest a little easier.
Please take a moment to contact the University of Utah and urge it to stop buying animals from animal shelters once and for all.

Thank you PETA!!!
Cheers to PETA for all their hard work and immense love for animals. Just like Liz Hecht on her comments, I too have saved cats from being run down by cars..right now I have 6 cats since daddy Socks and Mogwai have had a litter of 4 kittens. THey are awesome, all kitties have now grown up and looking great with ginger colors. I was unable to find proper names for them but if I called "ginger" all 4 cats will look to see whom I was referring. I love them lots. I spent 3 hours calling back ginger who had jumped over to the neighbours' house since a male cat had tried to tackle her. Thank god all are save and fine indoors for now. They give me so much joy and life will never be the same without these gingers to spice up my life;).
STOP,PLEASE STOP DOING THIS CRUEL ON ANIMAL!!!!! I'AM ITALIAN AND I LIVE IN UK. I hope this cruel experiment on animal finish soon! how this people can do this!? is so unfair,cruel,horriba! I love pets and i hope america and all world will stop ding this experiment on animal!
E veramente bello vedere che qualcosa si sta facendo e spero tanto che tutte queste universita del cavolo chiudano una volta per tutte! perche' non credo minimamente ad una parola che loro usano animali per esperimenti, lo fanno slo per divertirsi su dei poveri animali indifesi! e totalmente vergognso! Spero che tutte queste universita' non solo in USA ma anche nel resto del mondo chiudano o smettano di fare queste atrocita'!! io adoro gli animali e non sopporto vederli soffrire cosi,non e giusto! STOP DOING TEST ON ANIMAL! IS TIME TO STOP!!
I am relieved to learn that Utah shelters will no longer provide animals to the University of Utah for life inside a cage filled with fear, loneliness and painful experiments. But what about so-called "purpose-bred" cats and dogs who never know life anywhere but inside one of these laboratories? My family and I legally rescued a purpose-bred lab cat named Tux (or #322287651, which was the only name he had inside the lab). He was used in several hideous experiments, and he was terrified of us for a long time. But after many years, he learned to love us as much as we loved him and he lived a long, happy life with our family. I am very happy about what PETA has accomplished, and I hope this will be one more step toward a world where a cat such as our Tux does not have to suffer in painful, expensive and unnecessary experiments!
PLease stop this torturous practice. Its not right.PLease take a minute sit backa nd imagine what it is like for thoses kind and just want your love animals. They must be so afraid and confused and sad and dont deserve this…please stop the cruelty
grandiosa peta! io vivo in italy e ora anche qui qualcosa si st muovendo..mi rende felice sapere che al mondo ci sono persone veramente civilizzate come voi tutti. abominevole che nel 2010 con tutti gli altri modi che ci sono per fare seria ricercasi infliggano atroci sofferenze a poveri animali indifesi.
Stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop all this Cruelty we can't even treat animals the right way how can we be kind to the human race. Stop the Crulty at once.
I LIVE for news like this. A very great accomplishment. Can we make it FEDERAL?
I live in Utah and I'm really happy that it's at least a little more animal friendly than it was before.
How do the undercover people stand it? I can't even watch the videos without crying.
I definitely think this animal testing needs to be stopped. I would much rather see the tests performed on ppl. There are so many sick ppl in this world such as murderers rapists child molesters…I say we perform the test on those ppl NOT the innocent animals. They would yield much more accurate results!
I agree with all of this and i also have a cat named Mona who i would risk my life to save also she is my family after i lost my mom in 2009 i wouldnt have lived with out her University of Utah This is insane! please stop buying animals for these disgraceful experiments! As ANY major medical university need to stop this shameful practice I thought this kind of horror was banned years ago I can tell you that! whatever "results" you produce are useless. Any researcher worth their education knows that just because a "finding" can be published does not mean it can be reproduced in humans which are the end point for most of these tests. Many universities nationally have found alternative methods to perform these same experiements or tests in nonanimal models often with better i.e. reproducable more realistic results. Perhaps you should spend funds looking into these models rather than harming another animal. I couldn't have put it in any better words expressed! I FEEL THIS IS BEYOUND ANY MEASURE THE WORST THING AND MOST EVIL CRUEL DISCUSTING WAY TO TREAT THESE HELPLESS ANIMALS! I HATE anyone who participates in this sleezy slimmy CRUEL animal abuse. I rather die than see an animal suffering for the sake of human survival! What and why do we as humans believe we rule and animals are souless? That their lives are not just important as ours? I have a beautiful cat named Tupac he's ADORED by me and my family! I would honestly risk my own life to save his life. Sincerly
Best news I've heard all day a step in the right direction we may become civilised after all.

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
You are here
The Higher Education Amendment Act of 1965, as amended, mandates institutions of higher education to establish a minimum standard of "Satisfactory Academic Progress" for students receiving federal financial aid. Delaware State University makes its standard applicable to all federal, state and institutional funds. The satisfactory academic progress applies to all terms regardless of whether financial aid was received. Satisfactory academic progress will be evaluated for all students (full- or part-time) annually (at the end of the spring semester and each summer session, as applicable). Students re-admitted must also meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress standards to receive financial aid.
Satisfactory Academic Progress, SAP, is a process to review a federal aid recipient's academic record and compare it to defined criteria. The following defines when the review occurs, the criteria of the review, how the review occurs, and consequences of the review.
When SAP is Reviewed
The academic records of all Title IV aid recipients are reviewed annually at the end of the spring semester and each summer session, as applicable, which is a payment period, to determine compliance with the qualitative (GPA) and quantitative (# of credits earned) components of satisfactory academic progress regulations. Any student who is not making satisfactory academic progress at the annual review will not be eligible for aid during the next enrolled payment period. For example, a student not making satisfactory academic progress at the end of the first summer session will not be eligible for Title IV aid for the second summer session that immediately follows the first summer session where academic progress was reviewed. This requirement is different from a non-Title IV recipient who may enroll in the next summer session or semester without intervention of an appeal.
Grade Point Average Requirement
Undergraduate students must meet the minimum cumulative DSU grade point average (excludes transfer work) (see below chart of required hours and GPA). Please note, any student who has been enrolled for four semesters, whether the enrollment is consecutive or not, must obtain a 2.0 cumulative GPA at the end of the fourth semester. All grades except "W" grades are counted in the cumulative GPA calculation except a repeat course. In the repeated course, only the higher grade will be factored into the cumulative GPA. Please note that Title IV aid restricts recipients from receiving funds for the same course more than twice.
GPA Chart
|Hours Attempted
|Cumulative Grade Point Average
|1.70, but 2.0 after 4 semesters
|1.80, but 2.0 after 4 semesters
Delaware State University's SAP calculation will include all hours attempted.
Undergraduate students must strive to complete all of their attempted starting credit hours each academic year. Students are required to earn 24 credits each academic year for full-time status, 12 credits for half-time status and 6 for less than half-time status.
Graduate students must meet the minimum cumulative DSU grade point average (excludes transfer work) requirement of 3.00 by the end of their second full semester. In addition, all graduate students must earn 67% of their hours attempted, and must not exceed 150% of the hours required for degree completion. There is a one-time only appeal procedure for the graduate student. A formal written letter of explanation must be written to the Office of Academic Enrichment no later than the drop for non-payment date for the semester in which the student is applying for Federal Financial Aid. Graduate students must attain a 3.0 at the end of that semester to remain eligible to receive Federal Financial Aid preceding the appeal.
The following types of grades cannot be used to fulfill financial aid probation, suspension, or re-matriculation requirements: credits by audit or special examination, grades earned from advanced placement or CLEP exams for which prior approval was not obtained; withdrawal or incomplete grades; and grades earned with zero credit.
SAP Hours Completion Criteria
Students must progress toward their education goal by earning credits at Delaware State University at the minimum rate. Courses in which students receive an "F", "W" or "FW" grade do not count as earned hours but will count in the attempted hours as well as repeated courses. Only courses in which students receive grades of "A," "B," "C," or "D" count as earned hours. Audit course work does not count. Prior to receiving a disbursement of financial aid for the semester numbered in the first column of the chart, the student's cumulative credits earned at Delaware State University must total at least the number listed in the column marked Full Time which describes the enrollment status for the semester prior to the current semester. For example, if a student is entering in the fall semester after completing one academic year prior and was enrolled full time for that prior semester, then the student is entering his or her 3rd semester. The chart below details the number of credits required to have complete after the semester listed in column one. If you are not meeting the minimum required, you are not meeting the Satisfactory Academic Progress progression requirements and would be required to submit an appeal with an explanation of why you are not meeting the progression requirements and what you will do in the next semester to meet the requirements.
Progress Chart
1 –Year 1
3 –Year 2
5 –Year 3
7-Year 4
9-Year 5
11- Year 6
SAP Maximum Hours Limitation Criteria
Students may only receive aid until they reach the maximum hours limit. The limit is 150% of the hours required for the program of study. For example, if the typical bachelor's degree requires 125 credit hours, the limit for maximum attempted hours would be 187.5. Hours accepted by DSU in transfer are included in the maximum hour limit. Required hours for a specific program of study are found in the Undergraduate or Graduate Catalogs. Students who have completed all the course work for their degree or certificate but have not yet received the degree or certificate are no longer eligible for financial aid for that program. Students with dual majors or students who change their majors are subject to the same hours limit; there are no exceptions.
How SAP Review Occurs
Students will be put on probation at the end of the spring semester, upon annual review, if they fail to meet the minimum number of credit hours or the required GPA. The probationary period will extend until the student meets the required SAP standards. Students are not eligible for aid during the probationary period, unless an approved appeal exists.
Automatic Termination of Aid Eligibility
Failure to meet special requirements of satisfactory progress imposed by the SAP Review Committee, Probation Contract and or Academic Success Plan, default on a federally funded student loan or failure to repay a grant overpayment will result in automatic termination of aid eligibility. Students who withdraw and/or are suspended from the University two consecutive semesters of attendance will have their aid eligibility terminated.
Re-Establishing Aid Eligibility
Before aid eligibility can be re-established, students must complete the minimum requirements outlined above in their attempted coursework, have a 2.0 GPA and be removed from University academic probation, which is different than the Title IV probation. Financial aid will not be available during this period. It is the responsibility of the student to inform the Financial Aid Office when reinstatement requirements are completed.
Repeat Courses
Title IV aid restricts recipients from receiving funds for the same course more than twice. Students who have withdrawn or failed a course more than twice must include within the appeal process a written explanation of why they must repeat a course.
SAP Appeal Procedure
Students may appeal the SAP decision regarding financial aid probation or suspension status by submitting a completed Petition for Reinstatement of Financial Aid Eligibility to the Office of Financial Aid. Students may appeal one times over the course of completing their degree.
- Students placed on financial aid suspension must submit: the Petition for Reinstatement of Financial Aid Eligibility form.
- The Petition for Reinstatement of Financial Aid Eligibility form should contain an explanation of what caused the progress issue, an outline of future goals and any supporting documentation of extenuating circumstances attached.
- The Petition for Reinstatement of Financial Aid Eligibility form appeal must be submitted by the deadline contained within the denial letter to the Office of Financial Aid. Late appeals will be reviewed on a case by case basis and may be held until the next semester for approval. The Petition for Reinstatement of Financial Aid Eligibility form can be found by accessing the DSU web site.

**Extenuating circumstances would include extreme illness or injury, family crisis, or additional credits earned from incomplete courses.

SAP status at end of year one is not meeting SAP since the GPA is not at least a 1.70 but earned credits is greater than 18.
This student is not making SAP at the end of the first year and would be on academic probation according to University academic standing policy going into the third semester. Student would be required to submit an appeal, be approved to receive aid for the third semester.
Year two- third semester:
Fall Semester – Takes 12 Hours
3 Hours F (0) x 3 = 0
3 Hours D (1) x 3 = 3
3 Hours C (2) x 3 = 6
3 Hours F (0) x 3 = 0
Attempt 12 hrs/earned 9 hrs 9 Qualitative Points
Divide 9 by 6 = 1.33 GPA
This student's cumulative GPA would be a 1.33 which would put the student into a suspension status and require them to request reinstatement into the spring semester. Since the student is suspended, the student would need to request an appeal to receive aid for the spring semester if the University granted them enrollment. Student is below the GPA requirement but progression is within requirements.
Spring Semester – Takes 12 Hours
3 Hours A (4) x 3 = 12
3 Hours D (1) x 3 = 3
3 Hours C (2) x 3 = 6
3 Hours B (3) x 3 = 9
Attempt 12 hrs/earned 12 hrs 30 Qualitative Points
Divide 30 by 12 = 2.50 GPA
Cumulative GPA: Divide 78 Qualitative points by 48 attempted hrs = 1.69 GPA
This student has attempted 48 hours, completed 39 hours which is within the progression chart. However, the GPA earned by this student of 1.62 is below the 1.8 cumulative GPA required as indicated on the GPA chart. In addition, the student has also been enrolled for (4) four semesters and is below the 2.0 cumulative GPA requirements; therefore, this student would not make SAP for this semester. Student would need appeal to receive aid but this student would be recorded as not making SAP twice and if an appeal is granted, the student only has eligibility for one more appeal as an undergraduate. The student could attend without the benefit of Title IV aid and once meeting the SAP requirements would be eligible for aid.
Any of the students above who are not making SAP can appeal but must be able to provide evidence of mitigating circumstances in their appeal to regain eligibility; or these students must obtain a 2.0 GPA before they regain their federal aid eligibility.

NASHVILLE – Baseball's annual off-season display of falling dominoes looks ready to start in earnest.
And the Los Angeles Angels have to be wondering if they're going to be allowed to play this year.
The winter player market is an interconnected series of trades and free-agent signings, an exercise teams try to join at points appropriate to their needs and abilities to pay.
WINTER MEETINGS: Nothing happens until Rangers say so
The Angels pretty much barged into the room and stomped on the whole game last winter with the impact signings of Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson. This year, they are on the verge of getting muscled aside – especially by teams they most need to worry about.
That's especially crushing on the heels of not getting to the postseason after all the flash and splash of last winter, not only remaining behind the Texas Rangers – who are every bit a big player again in this winter's market – but watching the Oakland Athletics fly by them in the AL West standings.
It's not that the Angels have gone dormant.
Yes, they signed pitcher Joe Blanton this week, following up on a trade with the Braves last week that adds Tommy Hanson to their rotation. But those are attempts to fill gaps left when they traded Ervin Santana to Kansas City, chose not to tender a contract to Dan Haren and now – most significantly – are looking more and more as if they won't be able to bid enough to retain Zack Greinke.
Greinke is just one of this year's dominoes, but one that could set off the chain reaction that further pushes the Angels to the outside looking in - and makes the AL West all the more of a snakepit from competition standpoint.
Texas leaves this year's Winter Meetings today the frontrunner to land Greinke, the former Cy Young Award winner. If so, that expenditure could preclude Josh Hamilton returning to the Rangers.
That only increases the chances one more AL West team – Seattle – signs the powerful outfielder.
And the Rangers still would be very much in the running to complete some permutation of the multi-team deals that have been kicked around all week, the part that would move outfielder Justin Upton from Arizona to Texas.
That's plenty of "ifs" and "maybes" – exactly how this domino game works. But worrisome when, like the Angels, it all starts moving and you're in no position to stop it.
It's not that the Angels have been summarily doomed to thanking Bud Selig for pushing the woeful Astros into the AL West next season, thereby saving the incumbent teams from any fears about last place.
They still have Wilson and Jered Weaver at the top of the rotation. If they're right that free-agent signing Ryan Madson is a healthy, effective closer again, much of last year's bullpen angst is solved.
And the offense still can be formidable with Pujols and rookie sensation Mike Trout, plus the power of Mark Trumbo and Kendrys Morales.
But is that enough? And can the Angels find a way to keep up?
"I think the important thing about this time of year is really not only who you're targeting but the contingencies," says manager Mike Scioscia. "We're very, very comfortable and confident in the team that we're going to have. I think there are already some things that were vastly improved on from where we were in September. We'll see where this leads."
And we'll see how the dominoes that the Angels don't control ultimately fall.

We had a group of 9 People and we couldn't have asked for anything more! The apartment was clean and modern, the bedrooms were huge upstairs with walk in Wardrobes and the master bedroom had an ensuite. Each room had their own LCD TV mounted on the wall with cable channels.
It was still a little cold in April but the apartment was always warm and toasty. There was spare bedding and pillows for everyone if we needed. The appliances in the whole apartment were all top notch. We all washed and dried clothes & towels daily.
The location was walking distance from Times Square and the Rockefeller centre and very close to 5th Ave where all the shopping action is at.
I would definitely stay here again and would recommend this apartment to larger groups travelling to NYC.
Let me begin to say that the apartment is located in a lovely area in the upper west side of Manhattan. A very quiet area but still very close to Broadway and the metro stations (2 min walk) which takes you down to Times Square in ~10 minutes.
The kitchen was SEVERELY understocked. There were hardly no glasses or cups, only 3 wine glasses and the kitchen knives were so terrible it was not even possible to slice an onion or tomato. In the end, the kitchen was superfluous because of the lack of tools to cook. The coffee maker was a $10 Black & Decker, which was totally useless. These things were a big let down for me, as I was looking forward to cook in an otherwise great kitchen.
Apart from this, the apartment was very spacious with a lovely wooden floor and nice large bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms were a bit small, and the third was very large. The overall finish was good but the cleaning was a little bit sloppy, especially around details (e.g. taps, mirrors) in the bathroom.
When you pay that much, you expect to at least be able to dine in the apartment.
Great location.
Only chairs and table for four persons to eat - not eight.
Cutlery for five to six people.
Don't count on the washingmachine and dryer.
Heating/aircon of very doubtful quality.
We stayed in this spacious 3 bedroom apartment which was so convenient. The new kitchen is fabulous but does not take up much space in the big living room which includes 2 large sofas, dinning table for 6 and kitchen. The 3 bedrooms are more than adequate, in particular, the master bedroom which has an en-suite with separate bath and shower. The location is superb, close to Central Park at one end and Zabar's Deli at the other. Highly recommend this place for 7 people. 9 would be a tight squeeze.
was very pleased with appartment....was first time i used site and will be using again...have recommended to my family in ireland...
Very nice en cute apartment. Good location and clean.
The only thing is that the apartment is on the 4th floor with no elevator, the hall smells bad. We had to pick up the key in there office, (10 min from the ap) but when we left home we could drop our bags over there. So that gave us more time to spend in the City. I would recommend this place!
Great location close to Time Square and Port Authority Bus Terminal. Very clean and exactly as described. However would benefit from replacing the mattress on the sofa bed as this was dreadful - every spring pressing into you as you attempted to sleep, ended up sleeping on the couch (!) - pretty disappointing.
Would also benefit from providing additional towels for extended stays - we stayed 8 days and only had a towel each provided.
Lovely apartment, fantastic location. Wasnt sure why they felt they had to charge me an extra 150 dollars for the loan of a cot but i would definitely stay there again.
The renovation of the apartment is well done. All the rooms are clean as well. The bathroom is very small. The bedroom in the front is big enough, but too noisy because of the traffic just outside. The second bedroom is small, but ok. The neighbours upstairs had a wild party until 4.30 am on Saturday night. Sleeping was impossible.
This apartment is located in a god position, but is too small and too noisy...!!!! The bed-sofa' is very unconfortable because is very large for its room and its mattress is very very very old....!!!!
