This is a lovely flat, in a really charming part of the city. St. Gilles has lots of wonderful restaurants and it is a treasure trove of art nouveau architectural details. The flat, itself, is quite comfortable and well appointed, and it is very quiet. Yes, as others have pointed out, the furniture is a bit rough around the edges, but, for the most part, it's in decent shape. The bathroom sink leaves much to be desired, as it has two faucets very far apart, like a double sink, but hot only comes out of the left one, and cold only comes out of the right--and only a trickle of either. The tub and shower are both great. I would consider staying there again.
