This apartment is in a fabulous location and is clean, safe, and secure. The space is beautiful and airy; it is very "Parisian," being an attic with exposed beams and lovely views of rooftops. It is pretty quiet considering its central location and the mattress is comfortable. The shower is huge by European standards and has lots of very hot water.
However, you should know the following before you book:
1. You must be able to climb 5 flights of steep, poorly lit, and uneven stairs. There is no lift.
2. There is no air conditioning, and as this unit is an attic it gets very warm. The windows open and there is a fan in the apartment, but it is difficult to cool the place down.
3. The mattress is comfortable but the pillows are not. If you have neck or back problems perhaps bring a camping pillow with you.
Altogether, a great place to stay if you can manage the stairs. We had a great time and the host was very helpful.
