The kindest host welcomes you with a smile. Assures you of how to use the keys to the place bc the building is ancient but the flat is updated. The best location you could want. EVERYTHING is at your fingertips. Bakeries, cafe's, chocolate shops, wine shops, pharmacies, street food, shops galore, metro, bus stop, bikes you can rent from city, scooters you can rent as well, major sight seeing areas, museums, the Jewish district, all walking distance. The best beef bourgignon ever, an outdoor market twice a week just feet away, cheese shops, creperies, fresh fruit and veggies stands, gift shops, craft cocktail bars, tons of bars a few blocks away, the streets are lined with them, gardens, parks, make up, perfume, clothing, vintage, specialty shops of ALL kinds. A short walk to the river and many major attractions.... I could go on and on. Safe, friendly, busy and beautiful. I could not have asked for a better experience. Water, milk, and oj waiting in fridge for you. Shower was perfect, washer and dryer came in handy. I used ear plugs when I slept bc I'm a light sleeper but it's very quiet although it's on a busy street that has everything you could EVER need or want.
