Exactly as described - the apartment is right in the heart of a charming district in a quaint, quiet street, less than 3 minutes walk from everything a visitor to Paris could wish for. The apartment is simple, charming, a little run down but full of warmth and personal touches. Despite its central location and the World Cup fever raging outside, I had a good sleep as it was peaceful and comfortable inside.

The host was welcoming, helpful and friendly without being intrusive, and showed how everything worked. My booking was very last minute and the host was completely unfazed.
