Lingzhen met us at the apartment when we arrived & showed us a few things. The pictures are accurate. The apartment is bright, modern & comfortable. The stairway leading up to the second floor is dark & musty smelling, but honestly it added to the old city feel! But the appartment itself is newly renovated. It was quite hot out (about 25 degrees) and the apartment was very hot at night! We couldn't leave the windows open all night because of the traffic noise below (not terrible, but enough to wake you up). Lingzhen immediately bought two fans, which helped a great deal. The neighbourhood feels safe & welcoming. It is very close to the Luxembourg RER station, making it very easy to get virtually anywhere in Paris. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here & would book it again without a second thought. Highly recommended.
