The apartment is exactly as shown. It is directly across from the Cathedral and a BEAUTIFUL bell tower. . . (we used the bell tower to help guide us home). The metro line is a very few blocks away, and there are plenty of stores to purchase fruits and vegetables. The apartment is on the third floor (US = fourth floor), and there is a circular staircase going up to the apartment (65 steps). They seemed tough in the beginning, but by the end of our stay we were climbing with no trouble. There are restaurants / diners/ eating establishments all around the apartment for you to sit and have a mint tea, and the carrefour is just on the other side of the cathedral. There is a small balcony for you to sit and have your morning coffee.
