When I booked the apartment I was just a couple of days before my arrival in Paris. Boris responded quickly. The location is perfect perfect perfect. You can walk everywhere and the metro is right on the middle. I could not ask for anything better. The apartment is adequate and is on the fourth floor. The remodel is probably four years old and could use some sprucing up... But overall it was fine. The faucet on the bathroom sink was loose and the dishwasher seemed to be not mounted properly which the helper, who greeted me, explained. I barely used the kitchen. The helper bought bread and jam as a welcome gesture. There was great water pressure and hot water. I would recommend it for your average traveler expecting to stay in a previously lived in apartment.
