The location was perfect! The apartment was on the same block with cafes, market, excellent pastries, and a few small shops. Chokri was very nice and was there with the keys within minutes of texting him of our arrival. The apartment itself was stylish and cozy and provided for all of our needs. Its is true -- many steps -- but they do add to the charm of the building. I wished i had taken advantage of the deep tub while i was there, but there are far too many other things to do in Paris.
