Overall, we (adult couple) found this to be a perfect little apartment for our week-long stay in Paris. The location is close to a few Metro stations and the bustling neighborhoods around Voltaire and La Bastille. There are tons of restaurants, cafes, supermarkets, bakeries, etc close by. In fact, you can see a small bar and bakery from the apartment windows. During the day and in the evenings, we did hear voices bounce around but nothing that prevented us from sleeping. Other than that, the apartment is fairly tucked away and in a quiet area of the 11th, away from crowds, tourists, and rowdy night clubs/bars. The apartment has an elevator! This was such a blessing at the end of a long day. The last thing you want to do is walk up 4 flights of stairs. The apartment itself is cozy, but not cramped. I would say a typical Parisian apartment. I think the pictures are fairly accurate of the place. The kitchen and bathroom are very small. The shower in particular is extremely small, so be prepared to have the shower curtain touching you while you shower. That said, we loved the hot water and pressure, and the kitchen, even though small, is really well equipped. There is a washer/dryer combo, dishwasher, electric stove top, refrigerator, wine fridge, microwave, toaster oven and toaster, electric water kettle, and Nespresso pod machine. The knives are sharp (hooray!). Cleaning supplies, paper towels, and garbage bags were provided. The only thing I will say is that I found dirty dishes in the dish washer and found some utensils a bit dirty. Also, if you like large glasses of water then best to bring your own since there are only small cups available. We found the bed comfortable and sufficient for 2 adults; it's probably the equivalent of a full size bed by US-standards. There are lots of surfaces, shelves, and drawers to store your things, even with some of the closets off-limits. We loved the big windows; you get a lot of great light in the apartment. The living room was comfortable. There is a couch with chaise built in, a dining table with 4 chairs, and a decent sized TV ready to go with Netflix (very easy to operate!). The views are nice; you can see some of the iconic Paris rooftops and chimneys. Also, the WiFi connection was easy and fast! I will say that there was only 1 table lamp in the whole place, so not a lot of ambient lighting at night, and there is no AC or fans. So, if you are planning to come during the hot months, I would factor this in. Check-in and check-out was relatively easy. Overall, I would recommend this place! A great value!
