This is a lovely apartment. It should be better. The neighborhood is great. There are excellent little shops and restaurants. It's not right in the middle of things so it's a little quieter. But the kitchen doesn't make it convenient to prepare a wonderful meal from neighborhood purchases. The pot and pans are not plentiful and useful. The dishwasher did not work. There was no salt & pepper, which I don't carry when I travel.. BUT, the two bedrooms are comfortable, the mattresses were excellent, and the pull out couch in the living room drew no complaints from the grandsons. There are two full baths (including 2 toilets) which is hard to find on AirBnB in Paris, or elsewhere in France, for that matter. The showers had beautiful water pressure. there were plentiful towels. The balconies overlook other apartments and a grade school, and were perfect for a glass of wine after a day walking 8 miles in Paris. There is a table for sharing a meal too. Lovely. Some of the windows have working blackout panels, but not all. If 4.5 stars were an option, that's what I'd give here. Easily could be a 5 star place. And communications was fast and easy. 4.7?
