Ray's apartment was exactly as described. The kitchen was very well equipped for a studio and had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable, and we appreciated the light that came through the four large windows. The bathroom was perfect for our needs, with good quality towels and a washing machine.
As the description says, it is in an active sector with several restaurants nearby. However, it is a lovely neighbourhood and well worth the outside life you hear a bit in the evenings. We felt very secure in the area and appreciated the security measures in place. The apartment is absolutely close to everything, including several bus and metro lines, grocery stores, bakeries, etc. Ray provides a good collection of guide books and maps of Paris, and a few interesting novels. We truly enjoyed our stay at Ray's apartment!
