The apartment was just as described small and cozy and really all that was needed. Pierre was great checking us in and gave us some great transportation and dinning suggestions. The bed was easy to use and rather comfortable. The shower was small but serves its purpose. The area is safe and wonderfully close to transit. From busses to metro stations to bike rental spots it's very easy to get around to any part of the city.
The apartment is on the first floor (second for Americans) so the light in the early mornings is good but it does get rather dim later in the day. The only minor draw backs were the lack of available coffee to enjoy first thing in the morning and although there is a washer you'll need to remember to bring your own detergent. And, there is a school very near by which can make for some early morning noise. Then again it makes you feel as if you are living with the locals. There are plenty of spots to grab a coffee and croissant early morning or a beer late night.
