The place was like the photos. Some of the reviews said you'll have a hard time getting into the building. And that's true. My sister even speaks a little french and she had a hard time dealing with the receptionist. Just for anyone's info- at first when you approach the building you see an entrance on the ground floor with a call box. That's not where you need to go. You have to walk up a long ramp which leads you to the opposite side of the building, and that's where the lobby is. Still though, Paule had to contact the receptionist as she would not give me the key without communication with Paule. That was unexpected. So I had to text her. But once Paule called the receptionist it was no problem and everything was very smooth and great after that.
The shower pressure worked great! And the washer too. Everything was clean, and it was easy to get to from the metro. The location really can't be beat. You're very close to the Eiffel Tower and there are some great restaurants within walking distance.
