My host was warm and welcoming, and extremely responsive and helpful both before and after I arrived; the description of the apartment very accurate; everything including water pressure worked perfectly (that I used, anyway: I used neither dishwasher nor washing machine--I have a favorite laundromat around the corner which I've used for years while writing at an adjacent cafe). The apartment is really charming, the terraced balcony with its verdant plants a luxury, and the street, a kind of "impasse" as the French say, with stairs down to a big street and a market at the other end, is quiet and traffic-free. Descartes lived across the way from Anna's apartment in the 17th century, when he was in town. I could see why.
