What makes this apartment special is the exceptional communication by the host! We really appreciated her quick response with all communication and how she went out of her way to explain how the lock on the front door works, where grocery stores and restaurants were near by, and even providing breakfast for us to have on hand for our arrival. A couple things to keep in mind is that the location of this property, (near the Louvre) is in a very busy area. While convenient, there are lots of people, crowds, and traffic. As soon as you step outside you are in the thick of it. Thankfully, the apartment is very quiet and secure with two separate codes to get to the apartment itself. Getting up to the apartment requires going up 75 stairs. I counted. Luckily, I am in pretty good shape so hauling my suitcase up there wasn't a problem. However, realize that after a lot of walking around during the day you still have a small hill to climb at the end of your day. While lots of stairs are common in France, this might not be the best choice for an older adult. Finally, it is important to realize that this is a space that is normally lived in by the host and thus has a more lived in feel.
