“I love its soft atmosphere with the hidden courtyard that protects you from street noise.When I open the door, I am greeted by a large beech tree and a wisteria that cascades down on one side,while on the other there is a hydrangea bush and the wall is covered with jasmine.At the beginning of spring there is a wonderful perfume and sometimes I am distracted by little visitors like blackbirds and robins.
