The apartment is just as in the photos. Very spacious by Paris standards. Fairly well equipped. Francine is very responsive and helpful. The apartment was very clean save for dishes which we had to rewash. (I gather there was a problem with the guest before us.) I've lived and stayed in many Paris apartments over the past 20+ years. This one is a good choice. Our only slight disappointments were that the courtyard (being large and open in several places) was noisier than most courtyards I've experienced in Paris (although absolutely quiet in the wee hours) and the bath towels are very small (hand towel sized in the hotel I'm currently staying in). The double-glazed windows are effective at blocking most sound if it's cool enough to leave the windows shut. I love the neighborhood, having lived there before. Very French, not touristy, and well-connected by Métro and bus.
