Ideal location!!!! Several levels (codes and keys) to get into the building. There is an elevator for your luggage which came in very handy. The shower and toilet were behind separate doors, which came in very handy for getting ready with two people. There are plenty of outlets. The large windows open to a side street below. There is some street noise with the windows open, but that is to be expected for the area. Very close to all shopping, cafes, metro, market, bistros and nightlife. We rarely had to take the metro since we were able to walk to most places from the apartment. I would stay here again!
