The apartment is exactly as pictured. Please note in Paris, the second floor means two flights of stairs and stairs in buildings are steep. A bit of a pain with large luggage but once you’re in the apartment you’re in an amazing space. The location is amazing. A more quiet street with an awesome bakery a few doors down as well as a coffee shop and produce shop. So many amazing stores and restaurants. Very close to a metro stop. We stayed here with a 3 and 5 year old and they loved it. There is only a shower but it does have a hand shower to wash the kids. The shower floor is a bit slippery for kids so be careful. We put a towel down for them to stand on. Overall we loved our stay and visit to Paris!
