The apt is exactly as described and shown in the photos. Great space for 2 adults. Neighborhood is great with everything you need within walking distance (Aligre farmer's market, supermarket, bakeries, bars, restaurants, etc). Apt is off of a main street, however it is not street facing and is VERY quiet, aside from the occasional neighboring tenant noises. Shower is unusually small, as described in other reviews, but not a deal-breaker. Wifi was very reliable. Washer/dryer combo was convenient. Penelope provided ample info on the neighborhood and sight-seeing suggestions.
