We stayed 5 nights at maggies place in Paris. Nicholas gave great instructions to get there from CDG ( so convenient with the RER) and greeted us as we came up the escalator! The apartment was just as the pictures show. The building felt quite secure. We really enjoyed the terrace. We opted to sleep on the main level. The ladder certainly isnt for everyone and being 5 months pregnant and having to use the washroom often in the night it wouldnt have been very convenient, so maybe something to keep in mind when considering this apartment. The toilet is very close to the washing machine, enough that I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone overweight. My hubby and I are average height and weight and had to sit slightly to the side. The kitchen had everything we needed, even grocery bags :). Location was convenient for many attractions and close to a major metro station for the few things a little farther. Overall a lovely place.
