This is an ideal location to walk to most of the galleries, museums and sights you are in Paris to see. As a solo woman (in my 60s) this building is on a main street with shops and restaurants so it felt very safe. There is a wine shop on the ground floor of the building, a boulangerie down the block and a full supermarket 2 blocks away. I stayed for a month and cooked almost all my meals in the apartment. The kitchen is tiny but all you really need. It could use a vegetable peeler, a paring knife and a better can opener but otherwise fine. The pictures do not show the new Ikea style daybed in the living room and the green arm chair is no longer in the apartment. I didn't sleep on the daybed it but it was comfortable for lounging and reading in the evening. The bed was soft on one side, very soft on the other, which suited me but might not suit everyone. This apartment was exactly what I expected and wanted. Good straightforward accommodation at a reasonable price in a superb location. Not luxurious but the price reflected it's simplicity. Personally I'd rather spend my money on sightseeing, wine and cheese and less on my accommodation. There was a little confusion over the meet up time to get into the apartment but in the end Georges arrived and was pleasant and explained everything I needed to know. All in all a great home base to explore Paris. I bought a 10 ride metro pass and in a month only used 8 rides - I walked everywhere from here.
