The views from this top floor apartment are worth the climb up the narrow, winding stairs, especially the amazing light show on the spire of the Hôtel de Ville in December. Also great is the spacious bedroom (and bathroom) on your “private” second floor, i.e., fourth (or fifth) floor. The location is great for immediate access to the Christmas activities around the Bourse, in the nearby Grand Place, and on up to Place Sainte-Catherine and the Marché aux Poissons, where the ferris wheel is, but note that the street noise around the nearby Bourse goes on until all hours, especially on the weekend (boxes of earplugs were sitting on the nightstand when we arrived). Do note that the washer and dryer are not in the apartment but down in the basement, and are shared by people in the other apartments.
