Benjamin's apartment was such a great base in Paris! I loved being in the lively and safe neighborhood with excellent choice of restaurants nearby. Personally I really enjoyed hearing the sounds of daily Parisien life drift up from the streets below (and yes, you can close the windows if you don't want that). Good ventilation, really comfortable bed/mattress, and I appreciated having lamps on the bedstands and light-blocking curtains. Grand merci to Roxanne for assisting with keys upon arrival/departure.
