The balcony and view are definitely the selling point for this place but I feel a few things were missed in the other reviews I read-
This apartment is up 3 long flights of stairs and on a pedestrian street also with some difficult stairs to navigate especially with luggage. Be ready to get a workout!
It is not necessarily in a great location for many of the tourists sites and restaurants- generally speaking the areas we wanted to be in and visit were a bit over a 20 minute walk away and would've been a 20 minute walk up hill to return so we took a few cabs while we were there. There weren't many restaurants in the direct vicinity for breakfast or dinner so we found ourselves leaving very early and returning late in the evening.
While the balcony and view were amazing- unless you are going to spend a lot of time in the apartment it is good to be aware of where it is in regards to other places you want to visit.
