This apartment was an absolute dream come true. It's exactly as pictured (although it feels a little bit smaller in real life than it does in pictures), and the neighborhood is perfect. We were close to everything that we wanted to do in Paris (it's a short walk to the metro, as well as to many sites), and if we wanted to stay close by, there were plenty of restaurants, shops, and galleries to keep us entertained. This is the kind of apartment I would love to live in, between its charm and the bustling of the neighborhood (while still being very, very quiet while in the apartment). Highly, highly, highly recommend.
