Our stay in this apartment was just great. We were four people with budget restrictions, so it was perfect for us.

There is nothing really romantic about it, but it's the right choice if:
- you are healthy and don't mind climbing lots of stairs.
- you don't need a lot of space and don't care staying in a mess of beds, people and luggage (a very normal thing when traveling), since it is really small.
- you don't want/can not expend a lot of money in restaurants during your stay and would rather buy stuff at the supermarket and cook them in a private kitchen.
- you are not very tall or do not mind having to be very careful not to hurt your head. I'm 179cm tall and it was ok for me, but problably it wouldn't be for taller people.
- you don't mind brushing your teeth in the kitchen sink or in the shower, because there is no sink in the bathroom.

The bed was confortable and the apartment was clean. We found the sofa bed very unconfortable, but later realized that it gets better if you sleep with your head in the other direction (where you'd usually leave your feet). The only unbearable thing for me was the pillows in the sofa bed, but when leaving the apartment I found two extra pillows under the main bed, so the bad nights of sleep were really my fault!

The location is perfect (for walking and for taking the subway), there are a lot of good options in the neighborhood and the booking and arriving processes went very smoothly. Arlette and they caretaker Mourad were really nice and helpful.

I would definetly recommend this place to a friend, and will consider it when going to Paris again.
