The owners are friendly and quick to help, and we felt at home in the apartment. There is a small selection of great books about Paris, which we enjoyed reading when planning our trips for the day. We stayed 2 adults and 2 kids, and though the apartment is small, we managed to use the livingroom as the bedroom for the kids, and also used the diningtable in the livingroom for eating some of the meals. We did not use the kitchen for cooking dinner as we went out or ordered in, but we did make breakfast and sometimes lunch, for which it was adequate.
