Florence's place is extremely well located to transit, food, scenic walks, and general traveling amenities. We know from experience (sorry Florence!) that she will go to extraordinary lengths to fix problems. Though the area is diverse and transient (it's across the street from the largest EU train station) my wife and I have never felt uncomfortable, quite the contrary. This is our third time, and it was fabulous as always, so that should tell you everything you need to know.
