As beautiful as the pictures are, they still do not do this apartment justice. It felt like we were thrown back in time- and luckily had ended up very bourgeoisie. The apartment was spotless. Laura’s kitchen was equipped so that with four or so ingredients we could make wonderful meals with the fresh food from the market. Laura was so kind and helpful. If you go, do yourself a favor and get all of the advice from Laura that you can. She will flatten out your learning curve considerably. If you are cold natured and go in the winter consider packing a pair of sweats.
