Here are some photos of the place to give you an idea...

Front door and view to bathroom 1.
 
 Huge living area - that couch is 90 inches long.
 
 Front door to living area.
 
 Living area.
 
 View through the office - it has been set up with cordless access on both walls so you can mount a TV on the wall (where the pictures are), and plug it in below.  We opted to put the TV in the living area, but there is power and cable access in what we call the office.
 
View from living area through office to the balcony - condo is the first floor of the building, but is elevated from street level.  Kitchen door to the right.
 
 View from office toward dining area and front door, you can see the door to the bathroom and bedrooms.
 
 Dining room to front door.
 
View in kitchen to the right from entrance door.
 
View in kitchen to the left.
 
Slider door to balcony - can have both doors open and use the balcony as another outdoor room.
 
Awesome stainless steel appliances.  Electric stove and oven work great, bottom drawer is for storage.  Fridge is spacious and bottom drawer is freezer.
 
Microwave is also included, and the vent above the stove works as well.
 
 There is really tons of storage here - dozens of drawers and cabinets, deep enough for large platters and appliances.
 
The countertops are beautiful and functional - easy to clean and lots of counterspace.
 
Entering back hall leading to bathrooms and bedrooms.  You can see the door to bathroom 1 and the linen cupboards.
 
Bathroom 1 - lots of storage, original bathtub, shower has great water pressure.
 
 
Great hot water in the bathrooms, no plumbing issues and a nice, tall showerhead. New toilet.
 
Towel racks and space near the door.
 
Wall above the toilet.
 
 
Sink view - door is just to the left.
 
 Heading down the hall from bathroom 1, mirrored closet has hanging rack on the left side and shelves on the right.  In the mirror you can see reflection of another closet in the hall - with closet rack.  We use that for our "craft cupboard."
 
Turned right down the hall - you can see the folding doors for the utility cupboard.  There are washer/dryer hookups here, but the owner prefers to not have w/d in here.  The mirrored closet is to the left, unseen, and the other door in view goes to master bedroom.
 
View back toward living area from hall - this door closes off and creates a great sound barrier between bedrooms and living area.
 
Master bedroom - this is a California King bed and a full size armchair.  View from the window is out onto Wilson, raised up from street level about 20 feet.
 
Closet 1 in master bedroom - used as a shoe closet.
 
Master bathroom sink.
 
Master bath view 2 - medicine cabinet.
 
Master bath shower - full tile and glass enclosure, great water pressure and tall showerhead.  New toilet in here as well.
 
View from master bath toward bedroom - two large closets on either side with sliding doors and storage shelves above the clothing racks.  A fashionista's dream!
 
 
View from bedroom 1 out to hall - master bedroom door to the left and utility closet in front.  Animals not included.
 
Large closet in bedroom 1 - has two shelves of storage area above clothing rack.
