We found the apt. & called our host. She came to greet us when we arrived in Paris late in the evening. The Host explained everything and how the appliances worked she was very helpful. There was a washer and dryer, a dishwasher, and a towel dryer/warmer. Everything was up to date and worked great! The windows overlook a great night life below with the hustle and bustle of the day to the primarily males in the evening at the cafe's. The area is amazing for the best shops and gracious shopping experiences. There are the latest fashions right across the street and all the way down and around, the restaurants are amazing! I had some of the best coconut curry I've ever had in this hugely diverse neighborhood. The beds we're the most comfortable beds I have had in France, and I slept sound every night that I slept. The kitchen was easy to navigate, The dishwasher was great! I hope to stay again the next time I visit Paris.
