It was my great pleasure to stay in Caroline’s apartment. I was arranging the visit in the last moment, and Caroline kindly accommodated me and provided me with useful instructions and suggestions. In particular, nearby restaurant Brasserie Cochaux suggested by Caroline turned out to be excellent.
While the house is located on busy Boulevard Lambermont, the apartment is entirely in the internal half of the building and tranquilly looks from its second floor on the spacious green yard of the block, with the backs of houses at the other sides being quite far away. I greatly enjoyed my evenings with the tall bedroom window wide open, birch and poplar rustling in the breeze, and occasional voices of children playing in the yard. There is a Chekhov-style bittersweet charm about Caroline's place.
