Don’t let the urban entrance scare you, once you are up the three easy flight of stairs and inside, the apartment is lovely, exactly as pictured inside. There is no balcony that you would actually sit on, it’s just the walkway to get to the unit and is used mostly for hanging laundry to air dry. It was an easy distance from the bustle and the unit was VERY quiet for a nice rest in the evenings. Thank you for a really beautiful clean apartment!
