Better than the pictures indicate. Communication was instant. She met us at the apartment, even though we were earlier than expected. She greeted us with a bottle of champagne and gifts, and personally gave us tips about where to go, local places around us, bakeries, restaurants. Metro stations are all close by and had no problem getting around Paris. At night, the area is quiet so we really appreciated the ability to get away at night to get rest. There was a cleaning lady who came midway thru our stay (7 days). There's a mini-frig, countertop to cook, cookwares, dishes, utensils, Nespresso machine, kettle, everything you need. There was even a washer/dryer combo. There was enough space to unpack all our clothes (two luggage worth), about 20 coat hangers, mini bluetooth speakers, and a lot of chargers if you're coming from other countries. TV, wifi was excellent, and did not run out of hot water for shower. All the toiletries were supplied, towels. I'm probably missing, but overall, you can pack light and it'll be there. There were two local grocery stores to stock up as well as two wonderful bakeries, all within less than a minute walk on the block, bought baguette every morning for one euro and the almond croissants were spectacular. Really enjoyed staying and had no problems.
