After spending a week in Paris, we were shocked at how large this apartment was. I was concerned about the bed size when it was listed as a "full" size bed, in fact there are two American size Queen beds and one American full size bed in the loft. The apartment is quite comfortable, it had almost everything we needed. It was quite warm, so I would only recommend adding some fans in the summertime. Unfortunately my son was ill when we arrived, so we stayed around the vicinity of the apartment. There is a grocery store down the street and pharmacies in the area. The apartment is located on the edge of all the tourist destinations, so everything was in walking distance. There were some classical music concerts across the street which we would have attended if my son was in better shape. The apartment is on the second floor, so I recommend packing light as you will have to carry your luggage up the steps. My teenage sons said it was the best place we stayed in Europe, and it was also the biggest and least expensive! My younger son loved the loft and the piano. The piano is very out of tune, so if you are a pianist like my sons, there is a playable piano at Haus Der Musik. When we come back for a visit, we will stay here again!
