Everything was perfect! Laurence was very helpful and the apartment is exactly as described. Both the main living area and the bedroom area are lined with windows, so you will have plenty of light. The apartment is buffered from street noise because it doesn't face the street. Just as the listing states, everything is freshly renovated and clean. The shower is better than any Paris apartment I have ever lived in before. If you are going to Paris and you don't know the city very well, trust me, this location is ideal. You will truly be in the heart of Paris right next to one of the best pedestrian streets in the city (with great stores, restaurants, and a lively night life). This is a very safe neighborhood and the apartment is an incredible value. Unlike some Airbnb rentals where you might never meet the owner, here you will have a professional and communicative owner who works on the same floor. I go to Paris every year and I will definitely cross my fingers that this place is free next time I go!
