Exactly as in the pictures; outside area was lovely. We arrived earlier than check in, but since the affiliated hotel is right next to the AirBnB, it was possible to leave our suitcases and go explore, there was even free coffee/snacks on the little rooftop hotel area which was very helpful after a long flight. Everything was easy. Location is great with access to lots of shopping and restaurants; Saturday night it gets loud late into the night, but windows do a pretty good job of keeping it relatively quiet.
