The apartment is in a great location. You can walk to most places. For 8 people (we were 7) it is a reasonable size, but more than that would be quite tight.
Fabulous bakery just on the corner and Carrefour within 100m or so. All the neighbours in the block were friendly too.
The hosts were incredibly responsive and answered all our questions and went out of their way to help. I would definitely recommend them highly.
