Isabelle met us at the apartment and went through everything we needed to know about using and access. The apartment was impeccably clean, and a very typical Parisian 4th floor walk up. Place d'italie is a great location for those who are familiar with paris, or foreign cities. Excellent shopping center for provisions, thrice weekly market in Augusta blanqui, and the quieter 13e make this a preferred spot. The kitchen was well equipped ( we made a lunch of market finds like coquille at Jacques), the bath functional and bed comfortable. A nice little piece of paris!
