Exceptional apartment. If you think you have an idea of what the apartment is going to look or feel like from the pictures on the website, you are mistaken. I walked in the apartment and my jaw dropped. I was taken back by the beauty, magnitude, and feel of the apartment. It really felt like being in a monastery. The master bedroom was better than expected, you felt as though you were in the middle of a church. The living area on the first floor made for a great space for our two couples to cook, socialize or just sit around and relax. There was enough room for three couples to be very comfortable.
Our host Henri was there to greet us, even though he had knee surgery several days before. Henri was without doubt the best host I've ever had. He took the time to show us the apartment and explain what he did, construction wise, to make the apartment what it is today. Then he sat with us and told us different aspects of the neighborhood, city, and surrounding areas. He made several suggestions on restaurants and boulangeries. We took his advise and were extremely pleased with everything he suggested.
My only regret is that our time in Henri's monastery apartment was too short.
