Fantastic way to experience Paris on a grassroots level and get a feel or what it is like to live like a local. Everything from the tiny little lift to the lovely balcony and the view from the 5th floor are just so wonderful. We use the metro a lot which is very convenient. We also managed to cook a few meals at home and washed our clothes which you can't do in a hotel. I would come back in a heart beat if there is another chance.
