The place was very clean and comfortable. As stated, it doesn't have amenities such as paper towels, salt, and things other places we stayed in had, but the description clearly states that, so it shouldn't be a surprise. It's on the first floor, so expect to climb stairs, but it's not bad. Unlike many places in Paris, the bathroom in this apartment was spacious, with a very nice shower stall (large, to our surprise). Old building but the apartment itself has been renovated, and it's very modern. The only concern I had were the neighbors upstairs, for a few days, a group came that was up celebrating until 2 am, but once they left, everything seemed quiet. A few supermarkets just blocks away and coffee places and restaurants all around. Metro stations nearby as well. About 1 mile from Ile de la cite (the heart of Paris: Notredam, Louvre, etc.) Surroundings felt safe.
