Really fantastic place replete with charm and quirks. Great overall experience. The apartment really is as big and ornate as you think it is. As some others have noted, yes there’s a pretty potent cigarette smoke smell, so if that really intimidates you then I suggest you look elsewhere. I think the cigarette vibes make it more Parisian. One other thing to note is that there’s not really a shower, but more like oversized jacuzzi tub with shower handle - it works fine and the water pressure is good and water is hot. A wonderful value in an excellent location.
