Victoria and Antoine were lovely hosts and very easy to communicate with. The apartment is spacious and centrally located but could have been cleaner (crumbs in microwave, rusty capsules in coffee machine). Unfortunately, given this central location, the area is quite noisy. The windows do a good job of reducing the noise but this doesn’t work when it is warm and you need to open the windows to cool the apartment down. On most days during my stay there were homeless people asleep on the footpath immediately outside the apartment building. Although this can be common in big cities, and the individuals seemed harmless, this may be unsettling for women travelling solo. The building does have good security though with two security doors before the main stairwell.
