This apartment is exactly as pictured in the listing, and will meet a couple's needs well. As mentioned, it is a ground-floor apartment, and the main drawback is the lack of sunlight or any sort of view, as the windows are obscured to provide privacy. The bed is very comfortable, and all of the space is cleverly used to maximize the efficiency of the apartment. The decor is both tasteful and chic. The kitchen is somewhat under equipped, so any culinary ambitions will need to be modest, but there is a full-size fridge+freezer, oven and microwave, so reheating meals purchased from a traiteur is easy. Lots of great options for eating in or for take-out in the neighbourhood. We know this part of Paris well, and love it: although it is a little off the beaten track, it really lets you live like a Parisian, while still being within walking distance of many, many places of interest.
