The apartment was perfect for my girlfriend's and my vacation. Christophe provided some coffee, espresso and tea for us to enjoy and the super comfortable bed was a plus after walking around most of the days. Overall it feels like staying in the lower east side of Manhattan, but quieter at night. The location, atmosphere and life in the neighborhood made for a wonderful experience. Christophe was kind enough to let us check in late since we had a late arrival too. There are tons of little shops and restaurants literally outside the front door to the building. There are several metro stops close the apartment as well so getting to all the sights from the apartment was very easy. I would not hesitate to stay here again on our next visit!
