My husband and I were delighted when we entered this tidy apartment, reminiscent of the one we rented in Paris years ago, though architecturally it is an English basement. A few stone steps down a narrow passage led to the doorway and inside the air was fresh, the decor efficiently chic with a kitchen well stocked for food preparation. The Keurig with pods was a wish come true. The bathroom was clean and spacious with a large shower stall and the water was reliably hot. The bedroom was furnished with a desk and large armoire and a cloudlike king sized bed. There were personal touches that welcomed us as though we were friends: a pot of red tulips in bloom sat on the window sill behind drawn bedroom drapes and were a delightful surprise in the morning when we opened the curtains; a handwritten note left on the kitchen island listed recommendations for nearby restaurants, including the hosts' favorites and the ethnicity of each one.
The street was quiet at night and we slept well. This was our first trip (post Covid vaccination) visiting our son, daughter- in-law and grandchildren who live in this neighborhood and it served as a relaxing refuge at the end of the day. We look forward to our next visit and hope to enjoy another stay here.
