The location is perfect for arriving by Eurostar. The streets are very busy and it can feel slightly overwhelming emerging from the station with lots of people hanging around at street corners talking loudly. However once through the main door into the courtyard it is a haven of peace and quiet. The apartment is small and you can't sit up in bed without hitting your head on the ceiling - however after a tiring day in the cold it was great to come back to a flat that was warm and cosy. Nicolas was easy to communicate with and I didn't have to wait long to be let in. All very easy and unstressful for a single elderly woman unused to travelling on her own!
