The apartment is just as light and adorable as the photos. Since so many apartments in Paris are small, this is a wonderful, space that's still affordable but has plenty of room. What was surprising was how cool and breezy it was during a VERY HOT August. It's a quiet neighborhood and even with the windows wide open, there was very little noise. Lots of restaurants around and the subway is nearby. A great space, highly recommended. Marie was very easy to respond to an answers all questions almost immediately.
