The apartment was quiet and comfortable, with a spacious living room and bedroom. The hallways were fairly dark, although the bigger rooms received a lot of natural light. Pauline was a great communicator; although she wasn't in town during my stay, she was always very helpful through the phone. I often struggled to open the bolted front door (the key is quite old), and found it difficult to turn on the hot water in the bathroom, but had Pauline been there to show me around the first day there would've been no problem. The bedroom is beautifully decorated and the apartment definitely has typical French charm!
