It's a really interesting apartment - we were a little surprised at first but grew to love it after a day or two. (We'd just arrived from Rome where we stayed in a very different place, so that was probably why :). It's on the ground floor, so don't expect any views, but this means access it easy and on street level (we stayed at another Airbnb with four flights of stairs!). It can get quite warm in the apartment, but the fans really helped, and also opening the front little window and the skylight. All the fittings and equipment are new and fully functional. Beds are very comfortable. We were four in the apartment which was perfect and it didn't feel crowded. There is a nice table to eat at and enough room to spread out. It's actually a great location - since it's quite quiet but very close to lots of bars and restaurants - we ate at a different place every night. We only heard street noise on one night. There are other people living in the apartment building so occasionally you'll hear the buzzer or somebody coming or going but it was fine. There are a few grocery stores within a 4 minute walk, which were perfect for some breakfast and snack items. It's a short walk to two different metro stations which are really convenient - buy the book of ten tickets! Like any big city Paris is very busy and very cosmopolitan so I would always keep your wits about you. Would we stay there again? YES definitely. (Finally if you are getting a Taxi back to the airport make sure you book it the night before, or sooner. It is very difficult to try and get a taxi off the street for four people with four cases!).
