Hannalore’s apartment is spacious and well-equipped. The kitchen is well-stocked with herbs and spices, coffee and teas. Though there is no air conditioning (few Paris homes and businesses are air conditioned) even on a 91 ° F/33 °C day with the windows shut and the blinds down, the apartment stays reasonably cool. The are plenty of good cafes and restaurants nearby and many were still open in August when many Paris businesses close for the month. The neighborhood is quiet.
