We were warmly greeted by our host, Laurence, to her lovely apartment. It was well stocked with everything we needed in the bathrooms and kitchen. She even provided some croissants, baguettes, etc. to get us started - bonus! We are not shoppers so I can't comment on shopping in the area but the restaurants and markets were plentiful and excellent! We ate at the pedestrian street just around the corner. Metro and bus stop were both within seconds of walking. This second story apartment (with elevator if needed) opens onto a quiet courtyard so we could easily sleep with windows open. Its exactly as described. The queen size bedroom has shelves and drawers for storage and a bathroom just outside its door. The two double bed sized rooms are at the far end of the apartment and share a large bathroom complete with washer and dryer. We loved our stay and my only regret is that we didn't have more time to spend in the apartment.
