The apartment was great for what we were looking for! It was well appointed and there were little touches here and there. It is also close to many shops and stores and restaurants that make you feel like you're in Paris without feeling like you're packed into tourist central. The neighborhood is truly wonderful. The apartment is on the first floor next to the street, so the black out curtains were great, and it was still decently quiet. Initially, we were worried about the small shower and getting water all over the bathroom floor, but it worked incredibly well. It drained perfectly, and the glass doors sealed to keep it warm and comfortable.
