The location of the apartment was good. However, the apartment was only partially air conditioned and we were afraid to sit on the owner's expensive chairs. The owner pointed out all of the valuable furniture--which only increased our apprehension. Also, be aware that you need to be quiet in this apartment. As we entered the lobby to go upstairs the owner said, "Sh..." Apparently, the neighbors in the building are not thrilled with having tourists coming in and out of the apartment building. (Don't blame them--but, if this is an issue then the owner should not rent a VRBO there.) With six adults (ages 28-62; college educated, professional people) all excited about coming to Paris (four for the first time), it was a little discouraging to come "home" and have to be worried about making any noise. Needless to say, we did not spend much time in the apartment. Typical VRBO's--and this is my 7th-- provide written information--suggestions for dining, sight-seeing, transportation, how to use metro, use of tv, internet, etc, etc.--this was not provided. Not a big thing--but it would have been nice to have a defrosted and empty refrigerator/freezer (didn't know modern appliances needed defrosting). Also, it was very irritating to not have closets to hang clothing. It is not unusual for owners to keep areas of their home locked up but locking closets--really?? Yes, we could put things in drawers but some things just need to be hung up. Bottom line the location is good and the apartment is large. You are not going to Paris to sit in an apartment--but understand there are some issues.
