What a gem ! The flat is very well appointed, and very centrally located. We were only a few blocks from the metro and maybe two blocks to a taxi stand in a pinch. There were numerous lovely restaurants and amazing bakeries very close by, as well as grocery stories. Amaury's flat had all you need to actually cook but what we chose to do was have a few easy breakfast and pasta items on hand for a quick meal in. There is a washer and dryer but do get instruction on how to use. The rooms are generous and natural light abounds. The decor is so much 'warmer' than the picture seem - the old beams are lovely and the furniture comfortable, as was the bed and the sleeper sofa. Grateful the building has a tiny elevator for the luggage as you are 5 floors up. We did hear the folks above us but otherwise very quiet (winter, so windows closed) but just normal urban living. Amaury was a very kind host, checked in every few days and was very quick to respond and with great recommendations. I wouldn't not even look for another place to stay - we would return at any opportunity!
