The location of this apartment is perfect, a quieter street, a beautiful building with elevator and a prime location within walking distance to almost everything. The bedroom faces the back courtyard which makes it quiet for sleeping, and the balcony is a great feature. We are used to older buildings in Paris so it didn't bother us, but for those of you not familiar with Europe please be aware that this has a tub with a hand shower, not a walk in shower stall. There is plenty of hot water, and the toilet is located in a small separate room. Overall, a perfect spot for us, and the host is amazing.
