We had a great stay for 11 nights in this apartment. It was a perfect location for us; not in the touristic center of Paris, but very easy to get there with a short metro ride or a pleasant walk. It was nice to come "home" after being in the bustle of the city center. It's a great neighborhood, a short walk to shopping, restaurants, parks. We walked a lot, which is the best way to discover Paris. The apartment itself is very quiet so you can get a good night's sleep. We used both the bed and the pull-out sofa bed and both were comfortable. We did not cook often, but when we did we found everything we needed. Michael and his mother were very responsive and helpful.
