The apartment is just as described. It is quiet and cozy! I was concerned about the sofabed, but it turned out to be very comfortable. René’s apartment is well equipped and so convenient to the metro and around the corner from Notre Dame and loads of reasonably priced places to eat! It's a wonderful spot for 2 people. We also loved that it was only one set of stairs! We met some friends in Paris who walked up 5 flights every day for their stay! We were also delighted to find that there was a way for us to watch English television via Youtube. After a long day of sightseeing, it was nice to relax in the apartment and watch television.
