We enjoyed our month long stay, the apartment is clean and modern with large windows providing plenty of light and air, the street below is pedestrian only (no car traffic), and there are some cafes and restaurants below that give a murmur of life and activity that create a nice ambiance. Maybe one night a week a band might play below at night, making for some noise, but it was not frequent enough to be a problem. We cook a lot, the kitchen was fine, although we would have liked to have an oven for roasting and baking. Dominique and Catherine are great hosts. We would be happy to stay here again.
