The host was unable to meet us on arrival, however the key was readily available and all instructions on entering the building and getting to the apartment from the train station were helpful and perfect. She left a baguette and croissants for us in the kitchen. Bottled water, milk, tea, and coffee were all available as well. She was easy to get in touch with during our stay for any questions. The apartment looked just like the pictures. It is very close to a metro station so it is very easy to get anywhere. The apartment was clean and there was plenty of space to place our belongings while staying. The bedroom does allow a good amount of light in from the street lights and the sun comes up on that side of the apartment so the sun woke us up quite early. If you need it to be pitch black to sleep or like to sleep in you may want an eye mask. The bed was quite comfy. There is no air conditioning, but she provided two fans which cooled it off well enough. The water pressure in the shower was great. The neighborhood was quite lively at night and quite fun to walk around and explore. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in Paris, it was perfect!
