Aurélie and her brother were wonderfully helpful, prompt and responsive throughout. The apartment is in a fantastic location, within a 5 minute walking distance from two of the city's major train stations and in close reach of restaurants and public transport. The apartment is very spacious and was a comfortable base for our large family.
We were aware that there is some restoration work underway in the front of the building, but it didn't bother us, since we were rarely at home during the day. There's a wonderful pâtisserie just across the street (Maison Bayat) -- well worth checking out.
