Patrick met me and really gave me the low down on the city and things of particular interest to me. His list of recommended restaurants is not to be ignored -- Ondine was really excellent for example. The room was very clean and the view was breathtaking. Super comfy bed and great bathroom (somewhat low water pressure; welcome to Europe), and I felt very private (room in separate wing) and nice and quiet too. You probably can't ask for a better location since it is central to everything and because it is such a remarkable building that has been very well restored. Best of all were Patrick and Chee. They are very good human beings, great hosts, funny, charming and welcoming. Just a great experience. Thanks so much for the great experience.
