As you read on the other reviews, be aware of the steps. The apt was as described and the view wonderful. During the morning there was a breeze but at night it got stuffy in the apt and I have suggested a fan from Philippe to help with that. The apt was clean but when we were there there were a lot of bottles on the top landing along with some garbage. I felt safe in the neighborhood and there were grocery stores close. You didn't want to buy too much since you had to carry everything up the 110 steps. It was a nice place but I don't think I would stay again, but strictly because of the stairs. To be fair although I don't consider myself old I am not in my physical prime so that is part of the reason I don't want to do as many stairs.
