we stayed at the apartment for 9days end of june to early july. the apartment is exactly as pictured, comfortable with a lot of space. The apartment is located in the Very best part of town 1min to the closest metro and all the main attractions are on this part of the city. the only problem we had was the heat in the apartment was unbearable at times. and once we have climbed the mountain of stairs you need to cool off which we couldn't do. (there are two main fans).(Europe is going through a heat wave) Philippe was not available he had a friend show us around the apartment the guide book is GREAT shows you where the local supermarket is but the street has an amazing fruit and bakery stores! Highly recommend. Pack light-med because carrying heavy bags up 6 flights of stairs is rather hard after a long flight. enjoy your stay you will love it.
