What a beautiful apartment! The apartment is aesthetically pleasing, very clean and well appointed. You will LOVE the bed and the fabulous sound proof windows which you will discover are necessary because of the very busy and lively street below! When we returned to the apartment around 3 or 4 each day to relax, we would throw open the windows for the fresh air and the lively sounds of the people who lived and worked in this area. The metro and the market is so convenient, just a few steps away. The restaurants are plentiful and the night life? Controlled chaos! We loved it! Everyone seemed so happy. I don't know if there will still be some construction going on through the fall. They seemed to be wrapping up but it has been going on since the summer. Some previous guests complained but to us, the workers on the ledge outside our window, added to the charm of the area! Real working people going about their day. They wrapped up by 4 pm so most likely, you will have been out all day. It was funny one morning while we were sitting at the kitchen island with the windows open when, all of a sudden, my husband said out loud "Bon Jour". I thought, why is he yelling that, I am right across from him? It was one of the workers, on the ledge outside our window walking by and he leaned in to wave and say hello to us! There is also a small elevator which I used every day even though we were a few steps up from the apartment. It was just fun! We miss our Parisian routine in this sweet apartment and can't wait to come back to stay there again!
