I spent two weeks in Pierre’s apartment, which has all the amenities you might need. The location is great, not right in the middle of the touristy areas, but close enough to walk or take the metro. It's also away from the main road so I felt very safe. Not being a city girl, I had to get used to having neighbors, but in the end I felt at home. All the neighbors say hello in the hallway and the courtyard, so it's a pleasant environment. Pierre himself is very friendly and quick to respond to any questions.
