It's a travel moment we've seen time and time again in the movies: opening up a grand set of French windows, stepping onto a wrought iron terrace, and gasping at a view of la tour Eiffel.

She prefers a newer "luxury" apartment building filled with communal amenities, like fitness classes or spas, that classic pre-war apartment buildings almost never have.
