Perfection!
Coming from a sparsely populated, north-eastern corner of Europe, where 'quiet' usually means 'no noise at all' and 'clean' means 'scrubbed and polished', I wasn't expecting to find anything like that in a lively, bustling city like Paris. However, every single aspect of Anne's apartment and the whole building was better than I had hoped: squeaky-clean hallway and elevator, very quiet apartment (unbelievable on such a busy street) which had every amenity anybody could possibly need on their vacation. I didn't have many questions for Anne, as she had apparently thought of everything a guest might need, but when I did, she replied within minutes.
I had chosen the apartment mostly for its location which is brilliant, everything I wanted to see was within a 40-minute-walk radius, a 2-3 minute walk to Carrefour City, Monoprix, Lidl, boulangeries, cafés, good and affordable restaurants. I didn't expect to find a home away from home but that's exactly how Anne's beautiful studio made me feel.
Thank you!
