The description and the pictures don't lie. Once there, all the puzzle pieces of those pictures come together and the kitchen/living/dining areas become one big open space that lets the views, light and air from outside in - very pleasant. To add to what nice things others have said about the balcony, it has roofing that can shade you from the sunlight should you want some shade. The apartment, especially the kitchen, is very well appointed. I agree with the other positive reviews about Jo's place.
