The apartment was bright and spacious as the pictures. The living room area was especially large. It was nice to have a washer and dryer for the length of my stay. The location was also safe and the building was pretty well maintained. There is also a great boulangerie just around the corner that had amazing pastries. This was a pretty typical normal Parisian neighborhood but 20-30 minutes from most of the tourist attractions. One unexpected downside was that there were no real blankets provided in the apartment, they only provided sheets to sleep with and that made a big difference in comfort level when sleeping.
