This apartment far exceeded it's advertised quality. It is very very well kept, furnished, and functional. It's luxury on the American standards of high-end finishings and appliances. The kitchen was a dream. The location is ideal, firmly set in a great neighborhood of locals with literally 100+ options for eat/drink/markets within 10 minute walk. Several metro stations to choose from - 2 different lines - also within 15 minute walk. You can see the National Cathedral from the windows! The difference in prices (savings) for food/drink by staying away from the hard-core tourist areas, as well as the ability to cook meals "at home" is easily worth $100+ of per day if you travel with a family (2 beds are twins size, but the couch is big enough for 1 to sleep too). We've stayed in several apartments around Europe and this was the best, and only one that was better than advertised for the type of 1-week stays we like to do. The only "warning" is the 3rd floor level location and small elevator (typical of Europe). If anyone in your group is claustrophobic or otherwise afraid of elevators, and also can't handle 4 flights of steps a few times per day, you might look elsewhere (but that's probably a given for you already). But the 3rd floor / corner location is worth the views!
