The apartments is pretty much as pictured and described. The host was easy to communicate with and attended to and resolved the issues/concerns that we had about the apartment. As mentioned by others the laundry is shared between 4 apartments but we never had an issue with use or access. There is a time restriction on use after 10pm - before 8 am and the power turns off during these hours in the laundry. The apartment is super close to a small grocery shop and has many public transport options within a very easy walk. Bastille is also only about 15-20 min walk with many eating options. This is a 2 storey apartment ( the staircase needs some TLC) and it does have another floor of different apartment above it and depending on renters the noise can travel into upstairs bedrooms. Overall the apartment was quiet and fitted our family of 5 well. Having two bathrooms was a bonus with 3 teens. We would easily stay there again.
