The location is definitely great - within 10 min. walk to the Army Museum/2 metro lines and in a cute and safe neighbourhood. However, note that the entrance shown in the pictures are only the main entrance, after that, we had to go through a little courtyard to enter the apartment (the door is at the bottom of these stairs that may be the back stairs of the building). The condition of the apartment was fine - but definitely not as spacious as initially thought and the air was quite damp (and smells like it too). This made it hard to relax for me after a long day of sightseeing. The drain of the (used to be handicap) bathtub was slightly clogged so there was about an inch and a half of water built up from a 10-15 minute shower (some of which leaked into the bathroom as the the handicap door of the tub was not sealed tight). The place was cluttered.
Otherwise, Sylvain and family were lovely hosts - met us at the nearby metro station to walk us to the apartment for check in. Gave us some tips on public transportation. There was handy maps in the apartment, and chocolates. Communication was great otherwise! I recommend this apartment if location is key for you!
