The apartment is lovely and spacious-especially by Paris standards. There are old-world touches (plaster moldings in the bedroom, for example) that add charm. We enjoyed the little elevator after a long day of sightseeing to carry us up to the 4th floor. You are truly 1/2 block to the metro and four or five metro stops to Notre Dame and other attractions. We had trouble checking in (about half an hour wait), and never was able to get the television to work, but was able to access WiFi which worked well. The corner rooms caught a breeze when you needed it and there are lots of shops and restaurants by the metro entrance. The apartment was spotless and the host allowed us to change our dates (due to train strike in France), which we appreciated very much. I would recommend this apartment.
