The flat was exactly as it was in the pictures. The bed and pull out couch were very comfortable and the partition was nice to separate the space. The automated shades were perfect for privacy and keeping down the noise. We felt very safe in the area traveling as a party of two (mother and child). Air conditioning was perfect for the hot weather during summer time. The elevator was small but it was able to fit our luggage. Public transit is conveniently located (8-10 mins walk to metro) and surrounded by numerous restaurants and a convenient store for drinks and snacks. Perfect base for us in Paris!
