Summary: Good place to stay for 1-2 week in September.
The good:
+ location: You can do the laundry 5 min away at the street Amelie for less than $10. The entire thing takes about 2 hours. There are lots of restaurants and grocery stores near by.
+ Working elevator
+ The apartment is quite large for Paris, secured, clean, and it is silent at night. There is a garbage drop near by (on the same floor).
+ Veronica responds quite fast and let us leave our luggage in the apartment before 3pm.
The bad:
- location: The metro or bus are about 10 minutes away. I don't think it is that bad, but my mother has problems walking.
- The place is not in a good condition: The kitchen sink has multiple cracks. The (most important) microwave button is broken. The kitchen has no windows. The bathroom fan may not be working. The sofa bed is quite squeaky and made is hard to sleep in if you are a light sleeper.
- The place gets quite cold in October, and there are notes asking not to change the temperature settings.
- Internet is a bit slow (12.84 Mbps download, 3.74 Mbps upload), but I was able to work remotely to the US and have video conference.
