great place in great location! comfortable and private . right in the centre, but quiet because you are on the 3rd floor. bit stingy on the supplies for the price (few sachets of UHT milk, etc).

The apartment is great. Very nicely furnished with all you could need except laundry soap! Nicely appointed with comfortable bed, but for US visitors this is a UK king which is the size of a U.S. queen. Great shower. Living area is beautiful with amazing view of cathedral. Area seems to be in transition so mind how you go in the evenings.
