The apartment is incredibly secure and safe, in a lovely neighborhood steps from the Arc de Triomphe. Wonderful grocery, restaurants, tourist sites and shopping options abound. Nicolas was very nice. There were obvious problems which I think are only relative to my experience as the apartment was not yet finished (no shower, no refrigerator, no mirror) however even without these amenities it was a luxurious and lovely, truly Parisian apartment. I would stay again in a heartbeat. Perfect for one or more guests.
