The apartment is beautiful and very well appointed. Perrine is a great host. She provides a list of recommendations and all that we tried were very good. Just to be clear these are very old buildings. The apartment is in a building that is between two buildings, one the street and another behind. These leave only air shafts, one off the kitchen/living room and one off the bedroom, for ventilation and light. This makes the apartment a little dark, lights on during the day. The air shafts are small so as you look out the windows there are people 3 meters away. No view and little privacy. The air shafts can be very loud during the night with people partying at 04:30 and the trash pickup. We learned to sleep with the windows closed. The location is fantastic, easy walk to everything. We loved the neighborhood and the architecture.
