The apartment looks exactly as pictured, though because it is a basement it is a bit darker in the late afternoon. The space was very clean and very comfortable, and house instructions were very clear. Communication with the hosts was easy and quick. As noted by the Wendi and Ramy, there is kid noise from upstairs, but it was within reasonable hours. There is a park just a block down the street with a track, and a good coffee shop within a 15-20 minute walk. We really enjoyed our stay!
