This is a sweet apartment. It was a very comfortable size for our party of three and it can easily handle a family of five. The living room window opens to the courtyard which is lovely and well taken care of. The main street is busy but we could not hear anything once inside the courtyard. The bedrooms face a side street and a small restaurant sets up some tables there when the weather is good. That can lend to some noise but, if you go to bed early, the fans help drown out the chatter. The Nespresso was a plus and Alexandre supplies a mobile hot spot that we carried with us when we left the apartment, that was a big plus!
