This apartment was great. It looks exactly like the pictures, and matches the description. I was worried that it would be small or cramped, but it was perfect for our family of five (two teens and a tween) for a week long stay. The apartment is charming with some nice French vibes and classic touches. The view of Haussmann buildings up and down the street is picturesque. A grocery store is around the corner one way, and the best bakery is around the corner the other way. There was metro stop super close by which made getting around the city so easy. There are also several must see Paris attractions that are walkable from the apartment. One of our kids got hurt before the trip and the lift was so helpful. The lift is tiny by USA standards, but it was so helpful. The only down side for us was the painting prep work happening in the lobby and stairs. It just made things a little dusty in the common areas.
