The photos are accurate and we were not disappointed in this "home away from home." We truly felt like we were at home with the green hill, trees and terrace in the back. Our family of five, including three teenagers, appreciated the large rooms. The extra space allowed us to spread out and have some time alone after being together all day. LOL! The apartment is on the top floor but there is a small elevator that helps with the luggage. We used the washing machine and it worked well. But there isn't a dryer. We just left enough time for clothes to air dry and it was fine. Overall, it is a beautiful place to stay. Serene and spacious.
