The location of the apartment is great: there are many interesting places to visit locally and the people are charming and helpful.We enjoyed exploring the surrounding area and walked to and from the city centre though there are nearby metro stations . There are lots of bars and restaurants of good quality (we especially liked Abattoir Végétale, a couple of minutes away). The apartment is very well designed and comfortable. The balcony was much appreciated. There are five flights of stairs but no lift so it's not so accessible for those with mobility issues. We used only the kettle but the kitchen is very well fitted out so self- catering is easy. There was abundant hot water. Though we didn't use it, there is a television equipped with Netflix and internet, of course. It was good to have an independent and comfortable sitting area, and table and chairs, too.
