The two most important/positive aspects of this apartment was the host and location. Marie was very nice and quick to reply to all our emails. Check-in was easy to arrange since she lives in the building. The location was close to metro stops, restaurants, and Notre Dame. I would certainly recommend it to a traveler that is looking for a rest point central to everything, but not planning to spend to much time in the apartment due to its general vibe. There is a no standing shower which could be an issue to some, but on the other hand the water was steaming hot which was a plus at the end of a long day. As noted by others, appt is on the 3rd floor via a narrow staircase.
