The apartment is in a really nice part of town - where real Parisians live. One can walk to the centre (or take the metro of course). Our host was very attentive - any time I had a question it was answered (almost) immediately. The apartment has everything you need - bed is great, shower is fine, kitchen is very well equipped. Plenty of shops really close by. It is always fun to be in Paris and the apartment only added to the fun.
