The description of the apartment was accurate, especially since she provided us with a floor plan, which was very helpful. The apartment was well-furnished with virtually everything we needed. We were initially puzzled about how to use the oven, but the host was helpful in getting the information we needed. The location was good -- near both the Place de Clichy and the Place Blanche Metro stops, as well as the #68 bus, which got us to several places we wanted to go. There were two bakeries within just a short distance, as well as a grocery store (Monoprix). The area had the feeling of a neighborhood that is on the upswing. Sometimes the sounds from the street were a bit bothersome to the person who was in the front room, but the other bedroom, toward the back (on the courtyard) was very quiet. On the whole, we were quite satisfied.
