It's quite possible that the people who lived there before you owned a cat, therefore having a litterbox, and the smell could have gone into the carpet and any soft surfaces that have remained in the apartment. It is also possible that what you are smelling is not a litter box, and instead a mix of odd materials combined together to create that scent.

What causes litter box smell?

They do stink (if you don't clean them). Especially covered litter boxes tend to stink less as the odor gets trapped inside. There are also self cleaning litter boxes, they tend to stink less as they automatically clean the litter after 20 seconds. The details of the litter boxes and a guide on how to maintain them are here: catlitterboxguide.com/3-best-litter-boxes-for-your-cat/

Is it hard to raise a cat in an apartment and do they defecate much?

Cats make great pets for an apartment. They are not hard to take care of and they defecate as much as other animals need to. Like humans, they may typically have 1-2 bowel movements a day. Cats are not difficult to raise in an apartment if they're given the proper conditions. Feces odor will vary based on two factors: your choice in cat food and the cleanliness of the litter box. You can use tissue or a scoop to remove any feces and flush it down a toilet. However, you should still change the litter every week or two to remove the ammonia smell from the urine. A cat with proper conditions and care can live a long, happy life in a studio apartment.
