Brigitte's apartment contains everything needed for a short- or long-term stay. It is charmingly decorated, efficient, spotlessly clean and has amenities such as a full kitchen and an extensive CD collection. It is a home! I was able to unpack my clothing and belongings into a closet, drawers and baskets so that I felt moved-in for an eight night stay. Personally, I wanted to be right in the middle of the historic city center so the lively noise from the street below was welcome, but since the location is about 1 - 2 blocks away from the main trafficked area, it was not especially noisy. (I was there during a particularly busy season.) The location is extremely convenient for vacation activities and daily shopping and dining-- everything is minutes away on foot -- but the apartment is also comfortable for working. Perfect for one person or a couple. Brigitte is a delightful person and was responsive and helpful. She accommodated my need for a late checkout. The only caution is that the apartment is up a long flight of stairs (about four stories) which is not a problem for someone reasonably fit. I liked the distance of the apartment from the street below. With a secure entrance to the building and 3 locks on the doors, I felt very safe-- but the area is safe to walk in at all hours. I highly recommend Brigitte and her apartment, both very lovely. I hope to stay again! (I already miss it. Brigitte, do you want to sell?)
