We had no trouble finding the apartment and gaining access. Gilda stayed in touch the whole time to make sure we were OK. The apartment and building have an older inner city charm (think Western Addition flat, San Franciscans). The well-stocked kitchen is up to date, and the unit was spotless. Plenty of room for two travelers who are not a couple. A little daytime street noise that abates after dark and is easily blocked out with ear plugs if need be. Location is great - just beyond the most touristy parts of the Left Bank with easy access to shopping, dining, two major bus routes, and the RER. We would be delighted to stay there again someday!
