The apartment was as described or even better. The view from the balcony is a highlight of this apartment, accompanied by nice amenities (e.g. Oven, washer, dishwasher, microwave, black-out shade for the patio window). Pascal was a wonderful host with great communication and helpful tips for exploring Paris. The location of the apartment is in a good neighborhood of mostly locals (two excellent bakeries on the way to the metro station, a 10 minute walk). By metro you can get to the heart of Paris from the apartment in 25 minutes. Highly recommend this location for anyone visiting Paris.
