We spent a month here in July, and the location was perfect with the canal, a nice park, and several train and metro stations nearby. The space is quite small, so really not for more than two people. We had our six-year-old with us, and it was a bit tight, especially during the heat wave, when we all slept “downstairs.” There are no bars or screens in the windows (and it’s a six-floor drop to the street), so it would not be good for smaller children—I had a few moments of panic when my kid leaned out the window to look. It gets breezy and cool at night, which was lovely. A bit noisy, but in a kind of charming way. You’ll get your exercise hiking up the steps each day, but it’s not so bad. There was a laundromat and several grocery stores, bakeries, and fruit/veg stands nearby. Overall, a great place to call home for part of the summer.
