The apartment was well appointed, kitchen seemed recently redone w/ modern appliances, manuals for which were available in the counter beneath the (beautiful!) induction cooktop. The washer/drier worked, hot water was available and came on quickly. The heating system was not working due to a building wide problem, however the bedding was sufficiently warm, and the bed comfortable, and the hosts have offered a refund of the cleaning deposit in exchange, which seems fair. The neighborhood was pleasant and congenial. We were only a few doorways away from a location of La Grande Epicerie, a wonderful gourmet food shop.
