The pictures are just what it seems. Excellent view of the Eiffel Tower and an easy walk downtown and to many little shops and restaurants. The neighborhood is quiet and somewhat friendly. Nam met us for our checkin and did a walkthrough of the apartment with a few simple rules to follow (ie don’t flush toilet paper). The stairs to the apartment are not for the faint of heart and fairly steep - much like most of Europe. Based on the previous reviews, we brought along full sized towels; however, there are small ones available. This is a good apartment for a short stay in Paris.
