Vincent's place was clean and in a safe neighborhood. The apartment is bright and nicely furnished. Lots of HOT water for shower. Vincent has many books available on Paris and great house instructions. The neighborhood has everything you would need...grocery store, pharmacy, bakery, cheese shop, wine store, bookstore, children's shop, restaurants, chocolate, etc. Short walk to the Metro station. Two flights of stairs to get to the apartment. We were very pleased with our stay at Vincent's and would stay there in the future.
