The apartment is great, has all the amenities and is fully equipped. The kitchen was stocked with coffee, tea, etc and Laure left a bottle of champagne for New Years, very thoughtful gesture. There are grocery stores and restaurants down the street. Public transportation is a block away as is Rue Montorgueil. Only surprise was seeing so many sex shops and women on the street at all times of the day (*this was in the description just didn't think it would be so blatant... might not be uncomfortable for some). Overall a pleasant stay.
