Antoine’s place is wonderfully located and not expensive. If you don’t care about esthetics, charm or ambience, this place is for you. However, if you plan to stay more than one night and want to unpack, or open the window, the problems with the place become clear. The front window faces a noisy street. The bedroom window looks out on an alley of garbage cans; the smell comes inside, even with the windows closed. The lightbulbs are bare, the walls barren. The closet is full of clothes. In other words, there has been no effort made to make the place inviting.
