The "view" is an overused concept in real estate, but looking out the windows at Anne's apartment is simply astounding. You are so close to a stunning gothic church spire and nave that you can almost reach out and touch. It dominates your skyline which is amazing because you are in the heart of a big city. You feel that you are alone in the clouds, yet the neighborhood has every and any thing you might need within walking distance - and you are 5 minutes from the Metro.
The aparment itself is well lit and breezy, but the little bedroom is dark and cosy - perfect for sleeping. The shower is lovely and we made lots of meals in the well appointed kitchen.
There is even AC for us vulgar Americans but we barely used it during our August stay. Anne is an excellent and responsive hostess. Even without the jaw dropping vistas, this pied a terre is fantastic.
