The apartment was a great base from which to see Paris. We really like the area, and the apartment has all the amenities we needed. It was really clean, and Diane was a brilliant host. It's a little dark (the only external windows are into a courtyard) and a little hot (it was the middle of summer, and there are mobile air conditioning units and fans supplied) and we wouldn't have wanted to have hung out in the apartment all day, but it was a really good place to see Paris from.
