The apartment was very secure, with an street door to a court yard and separate entry to your private apartment. There is a small elevator which we used for our larger pieces of luggage. The 3 bedrooms have plenty of room. The front bedroom houses a shower and the tv. That worked fine for us on both levels. The kitchen functioned well, look down, there's a dishwasher and it was great to have a clothes washing machine available to us. The location is great, walking distance to many tourist sights and had easy access to the RER and Metro. There were three grocery stores near by, very convenient. Great place, great location!
