We absolutely fell in love with this apartment!!! We were met by Francois, the airbnb sitter, upon arrival. He showed us into the apartment and gave us all the necessary info needed for our stay. The apartment was absolutely beautiful and had so much room for our family of nine. It was within easy walking distance of the metro and allowed us to travel around the city without any issues. With such a large group, we were surprised to never run out of hot water while bathing/showering. The kitchen is fully equip with all sorts of gadgets. The only downfall besides the stairs (which everyone could use a little more cardio in their life) was the nighttime street noise from the local businesses. It was too warm to close the windows in the evening. For the most part, turning on the fans helped drowned out much of the sound. Thomas was easily accessible via email or phone if needed. We definitely recommend this beautiful, spacious home to everyone. You will not be disappointed!
