Getting There: Apartment location is convienient and right next to Strasburg/St.Denis subway line. Instructions for getting into the apartment are very easy to understand and execute.

There: The apartment itself is in the middle of a street for fashion retailers, distibutors and wholesalers. When I say fashion, I don't mean Yves Saint Laurent, etc. I mean wholesale clothing shipped from China. A 3 minute walk north or south will put you in a shopping district. A 20 minute walk south and southeast will put you in Notre Dame and Louvre respectively.

Pros:

1. 3 minutes away from nearby metro, grocery store, and breakfast/lunch/dinner. 20 minutes away walking to La Cite/Louvre/Montemarte.

2. Apartment is extremely quiet, beds are comfortable. Apartment is safe.

3. Dishwasher and washer/dryer available.

4. Rafael was extremely helpful with the entire move in process.

Cons:

1. The shower will overflow. The drain in the shower is not big enough to support a full shower stream. As a result, you'll be showering in ankle deep water.

2. The TV/cable system is extremely basic. I realize this may not be a problem for most, but if you are like me and get up early to watch TV with coffee, be prepared to only watch news---anything else is in French, PPV, or is just not available due to the cable package.

3. No apartment landline. This may not be a major issue for quad-band phones; but if you have no service in France, and are meeting someone at the AirBnB, you may have no way of knowing if they made it there ok.

4. The in-home washer/dryer isn't the greatest. The clothes don't dry very well...they just get really, really hot and moist. As a result, you will have to air dry.

Other than that, the place is pretty solid! 5 stars!
