It is just as in the pictures, but what the pictures don't truly capture is how charming the apartment is. It really provides a feel for living in an old Paris building, but with modern amenities and updated decor. It's very centrally located, just a couple blocks from the Seine. It's near public transport. There are some lovely bakeries nearby where you can get the most delicious pastries. The host is helpful, and we were kindly greeted at the apartment by the maid, who graciously helped us get our luggage up the stairs (the elevator was out of order upon our arrival, but was quickly functioning the next day). This apartment is perfect for a couple or a family with up to two children. The price for the charm, amenities, and location just can't be beat!
(Side note/FYI for families of small children: while the apartment itself is kid friendly, the building is quite old, which means the elevator is small. We were able to fit our medium sized stroller in the elevator no problem once it was folded.)
