The apartment owners were prompt in communication though i did not meet them personally. the apt is well located, mostly quiet (Saturday night an exception in the neighborhood), and well thought out. Loads of electrical outlets, handy light switches, very nice bathroom and bath towels, and clean kitchen. The only downside, and for me this was a big one, there was no comfortable seating in the apartment. The two orange chairs are old, uncomfortable and if you don't sit just so in them, they tip over! Considering how nice the rest of the apt design is, no furniture was an odd oversight; the room was empty except for those two chairs - no end table either. I usually spend a week or two on my visits to Paris and would have liked a comfortable chair or sofa with an end table for times when staying in and reading or writing was a nice rest from going going going or sitting out inclement weather.
