The place was enjoyable, modern and very clean. It matched the descriptions exactly, and the finish of the apartment is of excellent quality. We enjoyed the location, which allowed us to walk almost exclusively instead of taking as many buses and subways as we would usually do. This was a pleasant change. The street outside (Blvd. Saint Germain) is busy. However, with the windows closed at night we slept soundly. In summer one would want windows open. I'm not sure if there is air conditioning. The kitchen was inviting and functional and we actually did a little grocery shopping and prepared a breakfast or two in the kitchen. The last night we accidentally locked ourselves out and Olga's assistant went out of his way to make sure (with a smile) we regained access quickly.
