The apartment has been renovated, as has the entire building. This is its biggest advantage. The building is surrounded by tenement houses and port buildings, on a noisy transit street. It's close to the city center, and the paid beach and promenade are at least 15-20 minutes away, not 500 meters as described. The dirty, free beach is at least 2,200 meters away, and a walk through a rather unattractive neighborhood (unless you enjoy admiring workshops and other port buildings).
