The apartment was just like the pictures - charming Parisean style with a lovely balcony for our breakfast! We enjoyed the area - very handy for two metro stations but lovely to walk around too - it was very hot when we were there - over 40 deg but the apartment was not too bad and Stephane does have a fan. Stephane lives in the floor just below if you have any problems - we didn't and would really recommend his apartment for your Paris break!
