The description was accurate. A simple one bedroom apartment, furnished sparsely. The neighborhood is great and the price for this simple apartment was a little lower than the average, making it a bargain. It made a great base to explore Paris and the Rue Montogruell district. It wasn't a place to leisurely hang out, though I was not expecting that. The owner was very communicative and did let us in two hours early, thus saving hauling luggage time around the district --- much appreciated. Our only complaint is that the heater was broken and the apartment was uncomfortably cold the entire trip. The owner did fix the heater the last day we were there, and that did make a big difference. The TV did not work either, not that we were expecting to watch it anyway.
