The flat is amazing it is across the street from one of the most beautiful Parkside ever seen in my life there is a grocery market about a block and a half up the street where you can buy fresh bread and everything else you would need. Boulevard Saint Michael leads down to the same river and there is a multitude of restaurants that are very cheap as well as expensive ones but if you walk around the little streets you will find reasonably priced restaurants and there is actually competition between the owners to try to lure you into their establishments. The metro system is excellent and you can pretty much get around anywhere in the city make sure you purchase the multi-day metro ticket it will save you a lot of money . The flat is very nice there were just small inconveniences the toilet is located at the entryway where there is a bed and the shower is in another bedroom. I mention this because whenever you have to use the restroom you will bother the person sleeping on the entryway bed. The kitchen is ultra modern with all the modern conveniences there is no microwave oven though. the shower takes a little getting used to it has a large shower head and a shower stick that if you don't have it in the right setting will blast water across the room. The street noise on one bedroom and the living room is a little noisy in the morning as it is a bus stop but it's all part of the experience to hear the locals talk as they go to work in the morning. Make sure you visit the park across the street they provide a little boat and I was puzzled when we first arrived but it all made sense when you go to the park as there is a huge fountain that people put their boats into. I would definitely stay at this flat again
