Bernard's apartment is in an ideal location: close to several metro stations, the main train station, and within 1/2 hour's walking distance, or a quick subway ride, to the great museums and iconic sights of the city. Bernard was quick to respond to all our needs during our stay, and the apartment was clean, well-appointed, and very quiet. One must be fit enough to climb up the winding staircase to his floor, but we're used to stairs at our home, so it was not a problem. All in all, highly recommended!
