The apartment is as described and is conveniently located for sightseeing in Paris (Notre Dame, Pompidou and Lourve). The metro station is also within very easy access. You will have to go up one flight of stairs to get to the apartment but my host Romain, was kind enough to carry my heavy luggage. Having a nicely stocked kitchen was great and enabled me to go to the Parisien markets to buy fresh ingredients and cook up a storm. The apartment faces Rue Beauborg, a busy street, so it can get a bit noisy when the double glazed windows are opened. Overall, a great glimpse into living in Paris.
