Barbara was a lovely host -- met us at the apartment and made sure we were comfortable with the place and had everything we needed. The apartment is very pretty, with a nice outdoor patio. The fixtures in the bathroom all seem new and there was plenty of space. Everything was very clean. The neighborhood is very noisy so sleeping the first night was a bit of a challenge but nothing some earplugs won't solve! Still, it was a great neighborhood to be in, in terms of being in the center of things -- easy to navigate the city from and close to the Gothic Quarter where we had our best meal (at Los Carocoles).
