Except of course most of the view out of the window apart from the three circled buildings does not match up at all.
The three circled buildings are the furthest thing you can see out of that window, and in the pic in general, and the thing about far away big things is, you can move around a lot before their visual appearance will start to change noticably.

The story of how that background was created has been stated by the artist himself: he was studying in the quartier de la croix-rousse in Lyon, and incorporated it in the drawing using multiple reference pictures.
So while the neighborhood is recognizable, it is not a perfect match from any POV.
