Incredible week in Stan’s charming apartment! You’ll feel almost like a local staying here. Very clean, bathed in sunlight on the top floor of a delightful old building. Climbing the flights of stairs well worth it for the view of neighboring rooftops and their resident pigeons, and a sense of privacy. Excellent windows with double glazing makes it suprisingly quiet at night, blocking out 90% of street noise. If you’re a light sleeper like me sleep with the fans on (very happy about the fans as it was super hot) or bring earplugs. This is a very lively neighborhood with many bars and restaurants. We ate out every night and enjoyed some very good wine bars. Also many incredible pastry shops. (Don’t miss Strohrer!) Many of the big attractions are just minutes away by foot. Metro stop just around the corner. Stan was wonderful. Very responsive to messages. Met us and carried almost all our luggage upstairs himself. Chilled drinks a very thoughtful touch when we arrived tired, hot and very thirsty! We enjoyed having a good coffee machine. Thank you, Stan!
