I admit to being a little worried when I opened the outer door, walked down the hallway to the staircase and up one flight of stairs - all was worn, dingy, very old world Paris - until I opened the door to Frederic's apartment. It was bright, sparkling clean, modern, well laid out, and tastefully furnished. I am a detail person so I really appreciated the quality bed linen and the towels - large and absorbent (a rarity) - and the toiletries. The location was great - close to the metro - and yet within an easy walkable distance to many attractions and restaurants. I highly recommend this property for a single person or close couple.
