This is a classic "don't judge a book by its cover" situation. The street is pretty commercial with small storefronts all around. Then you walk through the gate into a beautiful garden! The building is extremely old (of course, it's Paris!), but the apartment is beautifully renovated and very chic. Communication with Alister was great!
If you're renting a car in Paris (which I DO NOT RECOMMEND), parking will be difficult on this street. Better to walk a few blocks to a metro station or bus stop, or just stroll down the beautiful streets!
