The pictures are accurate. The kitchen appliances all worked as expected. The washer/dryer actually washed and dried.
The location is very good. Buses run often, footbridge over river is 200m, nice little shops on the street such as the Pochat Boulangerie-PĂątisserie and easy access to the walkway at river level.
But be aware of:
1 - low head space in some places.
a. entry to toilet: At 1.7m tall, the entry is at your forehead. At 1.6m, you fit.
b. cabinets over sink: At 1.7m or taller you may hit the upper cabinets when washing dishes.
c. bed area: Everyone bends over in the loft. You can sit-up in bed and not hit the ceiling. (Fine for us but want to be sure others are aware.)
2 - steep steps to the loft. With no handrail, the steepness was uncomfortable. We went up and down as you would on a ladder.
3 - keys are difficult to work.
a. the locks are very close to the wall so the 2nd key on the key ring can get in the way of turning the key in the lock. You may also bump your knuckles on the wall when turning.
b. you need to pull very firmly for the locks to move into the door frame. (Happy I didnât pull the doorknob off.)
4 - the 2 flights of stone circular stairs coming up to the apartment are well worn. Wished we had packed lighter as it was no fun carrying a large suitcase up the steps. There is a handrail which helps. But the steps can still be a challenge.
