Based on the ground floor, the interior of Luis' apartment encompasses only two compact rooms. The main room serves as a living area, dining area and kitchen, while the second room, separated only by curtains, houses the apartment's bedroom. A second door next to the bedroom, presumably leading to the bathroom, is inaccessible. While modest in size, the apartment is considerably tidy and well furnished with tasteful decors.

*You can easily see Luis' apartment in GTA IV (Especially when you have Playboy X's place, as it only a few blocks away) It looks 100% same as in TBOGT, except without the parking space limits. Therefore, it is the only safehouse in the [[GTA IV Era]] that doesn't go through changes.
