The apartment looks exactly like the pictures - beautiful, clean, spacious (plenty of room for two), and amenities galore (I found the sofa bed to be just as comfortable as the actual bed). There are guides / books on hand to help you make the most of the property - and the city. And the location can't be beat. We opted to walk everywhere because we *could* (shops, cafes, markets, the river, Notre Dame, museums; even the Eiffel Tower!). And we always felt safe coming and going. Lastly, the noise was not an issue for us. The hosts were helpful, kind and responsive, and I would absolutely recommend staying here.
