The apartment was exactly as charming as pictured and the location is right in the heart of a great shopping area. Metro was close enough to be convenient, and it felt like a safe area to walk around, even in the evening. The water pressure was great in the shower & the owner's mother in law were very responsive to turn on the heat when it got cold one night. The bed was a little firm but definitely big enough for two. Overall, it was a great place for our first visit to Paris!
