this place is bright and cozy with high ceilings. the interior is tastefully designed. and the views are excellent. i did not see this in the description so i will add: there are about 50 stairs to get to the entrance. and also contrary to what another reviewer said the apartment is above a very busy street. so you will hear traffic throughout the day. i am extremely sensitive to noise and it didn't bother me too much. oliver is great and always responsive. he even boosted the internet speed. last thing: if you find a stray gecko on the wall leave it be! they won't stay long, and they might even eat a few bugs for you.
