Beautiful apartment *just* as pictured. It's situated between two courtyards so it's completely quiet even though the building is on a main street. The street is active and has everything you need--bakery, butcher, cheese shops, wine shops, restaurants and cafes, metro stops, etc. The location is fantastic. The internet was also good and the living room got lots of light. The kitchen isn't very big, but it's very serviceable and has dishwasher and washing machine.
