The flat is exactly as described, with lovely quirky touches. The location is great, very quiet but within a few steps of bakers, butcher, supermarket, pharmacy, cafe and fruit and veg. shops. The metro station is near by but if you like walking most of the main sights are within reach over an energetic few days. The five flights of beautiful polished stairs up to the apartment are not for the unfit but the flat is worth the climb.
Laure's husband kindly met us at lunchtime so that we could drop off our bags and the communication throughout was very good.
