Sephora was excellent to deal with. Very friendly and helpful.

The apartment is well lived in. It's unusual because it's essentially on three levels; the bottom level being the kitchen and living area, the middle level, and the upper level or 'attic' where the main bed is located. Adjoining the lower level is the selling point of the apartment, the outdoor rooftop that offers a nice respite from busy Paris and a chance to relax.

The neighbourhood is not St Germain or Le Marais, but it's ok and safe. The Metro is located right next to the building, so travelling anywhere is Paris is easy. Oberkampf is a street with a number of restaurants and only a block away. There is also a number of supermarkets/convenience stores very close to the building.
