The apartment was lovely. Pascale was communicative and responsive. Centrally located to either walk or take the metro (close to 4 lines) to many of the sights.- we walked to the Louvre and the Opera. The neighborhood was nice and safe close to all the covered passages. The apartment itself was clean and equipped with pots, pans, utensils, dishes (but no basics like salt/pepper) , washer/dryer and dishwasher., shampoo, soap, etc. The bathroom and shower were sufficient. The whole place has been redone with both traditional and modern touches-was very comfortable for two- (a little tight for three but doable) all the furnishings and beds were comfortable and stylish. It is small, faces the interior of the building(so it is quiet, but a little dark and no view) and up two flights of steps-just to be aware) the building was safe, quiet and, again, in a great location. Would definitely recommend.
