I had a great stay at this apartment. It is exactly the way it looks in the pictures. What the description does not do justice is the location. This part of Rue Cherche-Midi is fantastically located. You are a couple of minutes away from good local bistros and shops. A few minutes more and you are at top restaurants. Saint-Germain des Pres, Americans' preferred hang-out in Paris, is about 15 min walk.

This is an 18th century building yet the apartment was renovated to *very* high modern standards. The contrast is beautiful and elegant. Pierre Marie was one of the most helpful and gracious hosts I had in my 8 stays with Airbnb. He is there to help but without being intrusive.

I should add that PM has another smaller studio in the same building which is also outstanding. I rented it for my niece for a few days.
