The apartment is very comfortable and ideally located near two metro stops. Even though it is on a busy corner, the windows are of great quality and block noise from the street. We did not hear any street noise (with the windows shut). The kitchen is well stocked for simple meal preparation, but with so many good restaurants and patisseries in the immediate area, we found that cooking was not necessary! Also, having an extra half-bath was a bonus for the 4 of us. Check-in was done in person, which is rare and was a nice touch. Check-out was easy and required little more than leaving the keys behind and closing the door! I would recommend this apartment for anyone needing a place to stay that is bright, spacious, quiet, nicely equipped, centrally located, and easily accessed.
