This is a large apartment, about 10 minutes walk from either Bastille or Gare de Lyon. There is a nice living room, as well as a completely separate kitchen/dining area, so quite a bit of space to spread out. The kitchen and baths were clean, although the floors in common spaces and bedrooms appear not to have been vacuumed, as there were pieces of paper from the last guests scattered about.
We did enjoy the cafe right downstairs-very convenient for a quick petit dejuener, cafe, or a beer while watching a futbol match. Be aware that the apartment is on a very busy street. We had the misfortune of arriving during a major heat wave, and could not keep the windows open at night due to traffic, ambulances, etc. The apartment has great windows to cut out the noise, so visit when it’s cooler and they can be kept shut, or bring ear plugs! As per typical Paris, there is no AC. It would likely be fine during average Paris summer weather, as we had no problem the last day when temps came down to normal.
The beds are very comfortable, with nice sheets. We would suggest to the host a few minor hospitality items. Put a garbage can in all the rooms, supply a roll of paper towels, refill the soap dispensers (one was empty), supply more than one dish towel. These are super picky items, and we hesitated to put them in the review. However, these are the kinds of things that separates a good place from a great one.
