Okay for the price of the apartment, suitable for a short stay in Paris, short commute by metro to most local attractions. There is a metro stop right at the end of the block. The apartment building is old so it has that old building smell but nothing to off putting. The apartment is very small and with the pull out couch bed there is limited walking room in the living room, but you're in Paris, so you're really only sleeping there! Phillipe was flexible with check on and very responsive to any and all questions throughout our stay.
