Joanna met me just outside the apartment, gave me a thorough tour of the apartment and the surrounding neighborhood. She even left a guide to help me get around Paris. The apartment is exactly as I expected with laundry, good wifi, comfortable sleeping, and quiet in the evenings. The loft bed allows the space to not feel cramped at all if you have more than 2 people. That is not to say the neighborhood was not always active, but the apartment faces an inner courtyard so I never heard any street sounds, even during the world cup!
Even my French friends complimented me on this the great location, because it is a 20 minute walk or two metro stops from the Louvre. Close to the 1 metro line at hôtel de ville, so by metro you can get to most of the major tourist destination. Furthermore, it right next to the Marais, which has fantastic food, shopping, beautiful buildings, and pleasant gardens. I can only hope to stay here again when I visit Paris.
