We stayed at Luc’s apartment for a little over a week with our 2 boys, ages 10 and 12. The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking and there are several grocery stores within walking distance. Even though Luc’s apartment is in the heart of a busy area with lots of bars and restaurants, there is no street noise inside the apartment. It was warm, cozy and quiet, and we all slept very comfortably. There is a lovely bakery just across the street, as well as a superb cafe next door, so mornings are easy. As others have mentioned, there are stairs in the apartment, so not recommended for bad knees. While we didn’t use it, there is a laundry/dry cleaner just across the street as well, if you do need to do laundry.
