The flat was found to be in excellent condition. Clean and comfortable. Within a 6 minute walk were: the Metro, 3 grocery stores, and too many small markets specializing in meats, vegetables, poultry, and cheese to mention. The street behind Starbucks had the wonderful mixture of small specialty shops for fresh food. Lots of restaurants to choose from (favorite was Marty). My partner and I were there for 14 days during Christmas, New Year. The heat kept the rooms warm. There are large windows overlooking a quite courtyard. And I do mean quite. We could not hear the noise of the streets! Without hesitation, I'd stay here again before staying in a hotel. Pierre checked in with us several times to ensure everything was to our satisfaction. A wonderful host.
