The apartment is beautiful, particularly the main room and the master bedroom, which has a connecting door into a lovely bathroom (which is also accessed from the corridor, so can be used as a family bathroom or as an en suite). The other shower room has a small shower cubicle. The twin bedroom is very big, the second double bedroom small but as is the whole apartment, full of intriguing artworks and fascinating books. There were five of us, so we didn't have to use the sofa bed, but it looked fine.

Perhaps understandably, there are quite a few rules to living there, and we felt a little nervous by the time Lory left us. However, we soon settled in, and our days there were a delight. The area is wonderful, full of shops, museums and restaurants. Although the apartment has no 'views', it is full of light, and because of the courtyard, fantastically quiet.

The kitchen cupboards were full of useful supplies and equipment, making it easy and delightful to cook there. The whole flat was spotless. Thank you for a lovely stay.
