This was a great place to stay. The surrounding area has a typical Parisienne ambience. It is close to shops and restaurants, plus not too far (10 mins walk) to Javel metro stop. The apartment is lovely, just as in the photos. Just one thing to be aware of is that to get to the bathroom from the main bedroom, you need to pass through the other, twin bedroom. It wasn't a problem for us, but may be for others.
