This apartment was great, it is exactly as listed! the large deck is great for sitting out and relaxing with coffee in the morning or evening. the building os on a street, and there is a cafe at the corner, and lots of restaurants near by (I recommend Oui Oui, amazing!). There is a market on the corner, and a larger grocery store a few blocks away. There is also bike path that begins a block away, with is great, because you definitely don't want to ride in the regular streets--the drivers are crazy.
Mechi was a wonderful host, and was very flexible, as my flight was late getting in, and late leaving. I would definitely recommend this apartment!
