William gave us instructions for getting into the apartment; however, when we arrived we realized that we also needed a key, which we didn't have. We also didn't have a phone and William was not there to greet us despite my having emailed him our arrival time several days earlier. It's frustrating to arrive in a city with luggage and not be able to get in.

Other reviews are accurate. The place is tidy, modern and comfortable, and is in a perfect neighborhood for shopping and eating. It's about a 10 minute walk to Notre Dame. There is a one-burner stove and very little counter space. The lighting is dim, which I love, but it can make map reading difficult. There is a washing machine, but we couldn't find a drying rack. Fortunately, we brought a clothes line. The flat is surprisingly quiet. There is a grocery store a few meters from the Metro station.
