During our trip to Europe, this was our fourth apartment and the most homelike. It was instantly comfortable and we felt right at home. The furnishings are very french and made us feel that we'd walked into someone's private apartment (which it is). There were a few negatives: several of the lamps did not work, and the lightbulbs needed replacing, including the light in the kitchen. There were no spare bulbs in the apartment. You had to go up 4 steep flights of stairs which we were warned about, but it is hard when you finally experience it. We also ran out of toilet paper, as there was very little available when we arrived. If you want a homey place to go to , I would go there but be flexible with the negatives. If you're picky, don't go.
