Agnes was a gracious host. She met us at her apartment and spent time showing us around. Her apartment was well equipped, with a coffee maker, tv, washing machine, dishwasher, wi-if, etc. The downside of her place was that it was noisy all night from cars, trams, busses, and loud people partying until 4am. Without ac or sufficient ventilation, we had no choice but to keep the windows open at night. Her apartment also smelled of cigarette smoke, which permeated the entire apartment, including the bedding, towels,etc. The neighborhood was okay. Positives were that a very nice grocery store, Franprix, was located close to the apartment along with a nice cafe, Cafe Massena, where we dined at least 3 times. The downside of the neighborhood was that en route to the store we had no choice but to pass by a group of drunks sitting on a small wall bordering the sidewalk. One tried to take my groceries away from me, others made obscene comments. Every morning, the sidewalk was littered with broken bottles and beer cans and trash left behind by the drunks. For the life of me, I don’t understand why the neighborhood puts up with this. I sum, the experience at Agnes’ place was just okay. Agnes was a gracious host.
