Just as advertised - lively neighborhood (but not loud) with endless food choices, extremely close to the Metro, and easy access to all the popular tourist areas. The description of the apartment was accurate as well - I would even say it felt a bit roomier than I expected. The lift/elevator was handy when dealing with our luggage but we found that taking the stairs during our stay was not all that bad as the unit is located on the second floor. Cleanliness is always important and this apartment didn't disappoint. It is very well kept with just the right furnishings and utilities. I would highly recommend Laurent Et Audrey's place.
