Our stay at Dave's apartment was great. The heater worked well, so the apartment was always nice and toasty when we needed respite from the below 0°C temperatures. You do have to walk up a narrow, dark set of stairs to reach the apartment, but it wasn't anything strenuous, and about halfway up, the motion sensor turns on the light in the stairwell to light the rest of your way up. You're on the top floor, so you don't hear much noise from the street or other apartments in the building. It's a short, less than 10 minute walk to the Musee des Beaux Artes. Everything was exactly as described, and my friends and I enjoyed our stay. Thank you!
