This was a cute comfortable apartment; good beds, cute little kitchen with fridge, microwave, washer (but not dryer-there is a clothes hanger that worked fine). The host was terrific: responsive and accommodating and just plain nice. We easily got to the grocery store to buy breakfast food and that worked great. Once we found the metro (there are at least 2 within walking distance), we were able to make our way around Paris. Slightly sketchy neighborhood, but we had zero problems getting around.
