Michèle is a very helpful host. We arrived later than her normal key pickup time but she worked with us to get the key to us. The apartment is exactly as the pictures showed, very clean and nice amenities. The view from the balcony is of other apartment buildings, nothing spectacular. We spent most our time out anyways so it didn't matter. There is some noise from the street below during the night. Overall we are very pleased with our stay there.
