This apartment was everything as advertised and looks exactly like it does in the pictures. It has been very tastefully updated and decorated, and it is everything you could hope for (and more) in a vacation rental. The unit is on an upper floor of a six level building and the views of the surrounding structures are "Paris Perfect". It can be "city noisy" when the windows are open, but we liked that and watching the action below. When the windows are closed it shuts out sound completely. That said, it is hard to keep the windows closed on warmer days. When we are in Paris again, this is where we hope to be.
