The pictures are accurate. It's a 3 floor walkup I believe. But such a cozy well laid out flat. The convenience of a kitchen, with a small perfect, reliable, economical market 3 shorts turns away is great for all your needs. Quiet area, the river "view" is that, there is a view when you're on the small cute balcony. I really enjoyed staying there and having a local feel. Be sure to walk in both directions from the apartment. If you walk a couple streets behind the apartment you find an abundance of bars, restaurants, shops, ice cream etc. We didn't go that way the first day and thought well it's just an okay area, but go the other way and it's like this is great! We even found street parking not a problem, although technically it's residential.
