The apartment is exactly where the pictures show. That view is not a trick. The apartment has everything you need to stay and cook for yourself, or you can go out to the numerous restaurants nearby. All of the attractions are in walking distance, or you can take the metro easily enough from across the road. Yes, the square can be noisy, but the apartment does a really great job of noise cancellation. We opened the windows to hear the nightly opera singer busking. The bed is super comfortable. The check in was very easy and the coffee machine was the most welcome in the mornings. Check in was super easy and friendly. This apartment is well worth the money - we watched the new year fireworks from our window seat. It doesn't get much better than that. I've stayed at many properties in a few countries and this rates in my top two. Fabulous, welcoming, spacious, well maintained and worth every penny.
