This is a fabulous apartment. My husband and I wanted to be in the heart of things. There was plenty to do right in the old city and restaurants and patisseries within steps of the apartment.this is a modern apartment built in a 15 th century building. There is no elevator and the stairs , while charming, are a bit difficult to maneuver with heavy luggage, though Odile's husband and our cab driver helped us. You might want to ask Odile for specifics on the washer and dryer. Once we got the hang of it, it was fine. Please bring sneakers for walking around the old city. The cobblestones are a bit challenging but so charming.
