This is a great self-contained apartment in a great area! The mezzanine has quite a steep staircase and watch your head on the roof! The lack of windows wasn't a problem as there is a huge window up in the mezzanine and skylights, which you can close the shutters on (which I did not realise until after the first night of being bathed in what I can only describe as a hallelujah light from the moon). Although in an area full of bars, restaurants and shops you are quite far back from the street so it is very quiet, secure and peaceful. There are two metros around the corner as well as bus stops and a few of the big attractions.
