The apartment main level is very modern. The location is close to the Louvre, Opera, restaurants, and shops, but that's where the greatness ends. In fact, it is a storefront without any windows that open. The downstairs bedroom is in what people from the US would consider a basement without windows that open or any kind of fire escape. The bed was comfortable, but It's damp, moldy and smelly. There is no ventilation. There are a couple of fans but it's not enough. I can't recommend the place to any one with small children as the steps to the basements are very steep.
