The flat was spacious and in a location that was close walking to great neighborhoods. The immediate neighborhood doesn’t have the “Parisian charm” that one might expect for a holiday (ie McDonalds and KFC are across the street and visible from the terrace) and there are several working girls and homeless people hanging on the street. That’s said, it’s quite close to very charming neighborhoods and immediate access to the subway.
The flat is a great place to store your things and sleep comfortably with some outside noise. The interior needs some polishing- paint is peeling, furniture is a bit worn, carpet is stained, TV screen is scratched up by some inconsiderate guest, etc. That said, Lena and her family were very responsive and communicated well and often without bothering us.
