Quintins place is in a little street and is a former shop or office with large windows facing the street. It is on the ground floor. The windows are covered with transparent foil und large curtains can be closed over night. This was a surprise when we first entered the appartment. But we soon felt comfortable. We expected the place to be kind of loud, because the street and a garage are directly in front of the apartment, but this was no problem: Rue de l'Essai war real quiet and the area is nice. The appartment itself is really new and clean/well kept. The beds are solid and comfortable. The bathrooms are nice. The kitchen is equipped with the basic tools. Communication with the concierge service was o.k.
