The apartment was just as shown and described: well designed and bright even on a cloudy day. It is very quiet even though it is located on the ground floor just inside the entrance door. The kitchen is modern and well supplied with dishes, cookware and appliances, including a washer/dryer. The neighborhood has a range of restaurants and cafes plus the MonoPrix market just steps away, and it is a short walk to several Metro lines. The owners were very responsive and gracious. My only reservation is about the loft bed: the mattress was comfortable enough but the steps are steep and narrow and the ceiling very low, so while it worked for me, it might not be suitable for children or tall people.
