Stephane’s place is a designer’s dream. It is beautifully decorated and has a wonderful warmth and ease to it. The place is near everything and you are in the thick of the city. If you are a country mouse, it may be a tad loud for you but I’m from a big city and I felt the windows were good at lowering the noise level. The bed is super comfortable. The drapes do not totally block the light but they do provide some coverage. I was there in January and the days were short so light coming in wasn’t a problem. There is a lawyers office upstairs and you do hear the people walking above you. It wasn’t a problem for be because I was out all day and they worked 8-6. I highly recommend Stephane’s place and would like to know who the decorator is!
