OMG — what a fabulous stay! So convenient to many attractions, good access to restaurants, grocery items, and cafes! Very short walk to at least 3 metro stations, so one can strategically choose, depending on what line you need. The common space was impressively roomy — most places photograph larger than they are, but we were really astonished at the roominess! The kitchen was wonderful—we were able to cook meals when we wanted. Nespresso machine made our mornings so easy (along with the Boulangerie next door). Easy self-check-in with lockbox.
Some things to be aware of (which didn’t bother us, but are worth noting). There is not a lot of natural light. (But there are very cute and fanciful strings of lights in the common area.) The very large windows are at street level, so they are frosted. (There’s a very active café scene right outside 5-6 nights a week.) This café scene makes the street-level floor of the apartment quite loud at night. The bedroom is in the basement, and it’s very quiet. But, if someone is planning on sleeping on the couch (and there IS plenty of room for 4 to stay here), they may will need earplugs. Note also that the spiral staircase to the basement is VERY narrow. We didn’t have issues, but good to know for someone with mobility issues.
Overall — absolutely FABULOUS. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Awesome in so many ways.
