The location is ideal - one can walk just about everywhere in Paris. There are terrific restaurants a few paces away (but it's good to reserve in advance). Wonderful bakeries nearby and the rue Cler market a short walk -it couldn't be more convenient. The apartment is beautifully appointed and comfortable. And the host left all the kitchen basics we needed. There is a clothes washer but no dryer - I'm not sure how one would dry clothes there, but that wasn't necessary for us. We would certainly stay here again.
