It’s looks like the pictures. The apartment is bright. It probably could have been brighter but I didn’t know how the shade went up in the bedroom. It’s located in a great part of town. There’s lots of closet space and it’s full kitchen made it really cozy. It is a walk up which I think all east-coasters could handle but as a Californian, it was a bit of a challenge not having an elevator. The stairwell is like an old fashion library / kinda the “Mommy Dearest” Betty Davis vibe. I had a 40 lb suitcase and it took me 10 minutes to come up and down with it. But of course without a suitcase it was just 4~5 flights of stairs. The communication was awesome and I do recommend this place highly.
