The apartment is very big by Paris standards. The location is superb. a one minute walk to fabulous cafe, bistros and a supermarket. A five minute walk to Pont Neuf - you cannot fault the size of the place or location. However, the apartment needs a handyman - the washing machine floods, loose faucets, some windows don't open...the BIG issue is the shower - there is an electric current running through the pipes - my wife got an electric shock so we stopped taking showers. The apartment block is very old ( 100 years plus) ..all good but i worry about safety issues that come with the territory
