Ariane was away, however, we were met by her housekeeper. The apartment was as described, very central and clean . We had heavy luggage and just girls so had a tough time getting it up the two flight of stairs but that can be avoided by travelling light anyway...There were enough towels and toiletries were available though we used our own. The windows if left closed keep most of the noise out, though being on the side of the main street you would get some noise of late night revelers or motorbikes but that's part of the experience. The single room faces inner courtyard so is very quiet. All in all a beautiful clean comfortable apartment with a great and helpful host
