Very well designed spacious apartment with a great tub/shower combo, washing/dryer and lovely windows and as pictured! It is two flights of stairs up to the apartment so if you are younger....no big deal....but if you're older like me it was difficult to get my luggage up and then down! The locals count the first floor as 0 so second floor is actually third! There is not a microwave but that may change in the future! It was noisy some nights as the apartment is located near bars and eateries! You can walk to bus stops or the Metro to get around the city! The location is somewhat closest to Jardin des Plantes area of the Seine!
