We love the location of this apartment. Walk out the front door and you are immediately in the midst of shops, restaurants, bakery's and more. There are many metro stations and bus stops nearby so using public transportation is very convenient. With that said, the neighborhood is very active with patrons eating late into the night (which is common in Europe) and delivery trucks arriving early in the morning. We mention this because we were there in July in the midst of a heat wave. There is no air conditioning in the building and so we relied on fans, however we also needed the windows to be open, so you can understand our dilemma. I will say that Elise did all she could to help us and even brought us an extra fan to use. She did all she could do and was very responsive to our situation. Elise and Sebastien are wonderful hosts and we would highly recommend staying here.
