The apartment had everything as described. It was a little tight for 4 people, but we were not in the apartment much, only to sleep. If you are traveling with 2 people, this place is perfect. The apartment is very close to many restaurants, the Porte-Saint-Denis, Saint-Martin, and the Place de République. It is about a 30 minute taxi ride to most of the major landmarks. We recommend taxi or uber riding throughout the city. Driving is very hectic and taxis have special lanes for getting through the city faster. Communication with host was very smooth via WhatsApp and she answered late in the evening when we were confused on the door code for the outside. We were very pleased with our stay.
