The description and pictures reflect reality. It is a great value given the location, closeness to metro, nearby supermarkets, cafes and restaurants. Key exchange was done smoothly, hot water sufficient, wifi works great and is fast. Three big windows provided light and air as needed. A little noisy at night, but the windows insulate from the sound very efficiently (might be a good idea to have a 2nd table fan for summer time comfort)! Both the bed and sofabed were confortable. Kitchen equipment is basic, but we were not doing any serious cooking, so it was okay for our needs. There is ample storage for 2 people, as there is now an armoire in the living room for extra storage (not shown in pictures). You will be glad to know they were installing a small elevator while we were there (June 2018) but even so, the 4 flights were easily manageable. Perfect for 2 or 3 people, might be tight with more occupants. I would definitely go back as it is so close to Louvre, Montorgueuil and Marais. Metro station « Les Halles Chatelet » is in direct line with Charles de Gaulle airport!!!
