The apartment was amazing; historic and central and much larger than I expected for a central-city apartment. The layout was great for our family, bedrooms were very quiet and separated from the main living areas so our small children could go to bed early and nap without interruption. The full eat-in kitchen was a nice bonus. The front room is quite big and bright and has a nice view and comfortable furniture. It had quick access to several Metro lines and was central to shopping and restaurants. Hélène responded promptly to all correspondence and was very welcoming. Arrival and departure were very smooth.
