The location of the flat is great. We were able to easily navigate Paris with this spot as our home base. We also enjoyed the overall layout (we traveled with kids). The check in process was difficult- the host asked us to pick up keys from a location about a ten minute walk from the flat. With kids and luggage in tow in a new city we found this challenging. The flat was equipped with only basic essentials- towels, dishes, fans (there is no ac). No coffee, sugar/salt/pepper. Several items were broken- door knob to closet and toilet seat.
