The lobby was unappealing. But once past that, the apartment was lovely -- clean, tastefully decorated, and roomy for our family of four. It had basic amenities (ie. washer/dryer, adequately equipped kitchen, etc) that made it a comfortable stay. Everything was in great condition. The host was responsive, flexible and accommodating. Check in and out were easy. The street/neighborhood is very safe and clean. The location is fantastic -- around the corner from so many great eateries+restaurants+small grocery+bakery, near metro and easily walkable to attractions like the Louvre, Pompidou Center.
