Skøn beliggenhed.
Skøn charmerende lejlighed og dejlig beliggende tæt ved alt. Fantastisk tagterrasse. Trænger dog til nye madrasser.

L’appartement est très bien et bien situé. Petit bémol il y a un autre appartement dessus et dès qu’il y a du monde dedans on entend tout leur pas et dès qu’il bouge quelque chose, c’est fort désagréable.
