I stepped into the apartment and was completely charmed. Exactly as pictured. The bathroom and kitchen were spotless. The bed was comfortable, with a fluffy duvet and clean linens.

Great communications with Sylvie. Very clear instructions on Metro, how to gain entry to the building, and how to secure apartment key. The 2nd day a breaker popped for the water heater and Sylvie responded instantly on how to fix it(very easy).

The street has many clothing shops and is residential so is quiet after the sun goes down. Perhaps a 3 minute walk to the Metro stop. Easy to get anywhere using Metro.

As mentioned the building has no lift and the apartment is on the top floor. Be prepared for the walk up and down, but I did not mind since I got my exercise. To be able to open the windows and overlook the rooftops was terrific. A true Parisian experience.
