We loved staying at the apartment - it was beautiful and very large and comfortable for our family of 4. It was also in such a great location - those steps were a killer, but great exercise after eating way too many crepes! I do have to say that if you are sensitive to noise at night, the footsteps from the apartment above were annoying and the noise from music and people hanging out in front of the building was frustrating. The week we were there was fall break for the schools, so maybe the kids hanging out and being loud was an anomaly. Overall, it was a great apartment and Francoise was a delightful hostess.
