The apartment is in fair condition, features high ceilings, good closet space, the utmost in tranquility & repose. It has an efficiency kitchen which presently does not have a sink (with the possibility of one being installed). Apartment 208 is located on 2nd floor and faces north so the light is minimal but adequate.

The Lombardy includes 'American Cut' restaurant, a state of the art fitness center, business center, beauty salon, espresso bar; valet parking is available for residents. Maid service (twice daily) and utilities are included in the rent.
