First of all, yes, that really is the view - it's as good as it looks. the balcony starts getting the sun in the late morning and catches it until the evening, so you can have lunch/dinner pretty easily. The kitchenette is modern and stocked well enough, while the bathroom (despite being small as in the picture) is clean, modern and has a good shower. Our bed was comfy and even though the apartment doesn't have AC, Romain (who was also really helpful checking us in) showed us a portable fan that ended up being perfect for our needs. Would recommend staying here if you're a couple in town for a couple of nights and don't need too much space/facilities.
