This airbnb was exactly as pictured and described! Joanna was very responsive to questions and concerns and helpful with transportation recommendations.
I was a bit concerned about street noise and safety since this is a street level apartment. However, its a quiet street, the noise was minimal (some construction across the street but they started at a decent hour and we were out all day) and we felt safe. Rue Chapon has galleries and cafes and a few little businesses. There were parents walking their kids to school in the morning. The location is wonderful! Metro stations within walking distance as well as Chatalet Les Halles train station. Cafes, Boulangeries etc very close by.
This is true to the pictures with the only the windows/door at the front of the apartment. While the apartment is well lit, it is abit cave-like and on the darker side. We thought it was unusual and fun. We visited in November and the apartment was well heated.
I definitely recommend the apartment.
