We loved being located on a pedestrian street with all the restaurants and shops a few steps away. A great central location close to the Metro. The apartment was immaculate, well stocked, organized, and great for cooking, which we did a lot of. The duplex layout with just the bedrooms upstairs reached by a spiral staircase may not be appropriate for everyone. We, though in our seventies, were able to manage and enjoy our home away from home.
