the apartment is just as shown---full of light from three giant floor to ceiling windows in living room, well equipped and spotless kitchen, great appliances including washer/dryer. building and neighborhood are extremely quiet, yet close to lots of action. the area is lovely residential part of the area behind Sacre Coeur, doesn't feel at all touristy. Excellent helpful host with great book of suggestions in the neighborhood and Paris at large. Would be especially great place in warm weather. Highly recommended.
