Laure was waiting for me when I arrived. She explained everything I needed to know about the apartment and the facilities (including recycling) The apartment was exactly as described: modern and clean. For those looking for a romantic view across the rooftops of Paris, this isn't it. Across the street is a modern building that is anything but romantic. But, you're in Paris for the entire City, and not the view out the window. The location is very close to two metro lines and bus lines, and the neighborhood abounds with cafe's and restaurants. For my needs, the apartment and location were ideal.
