The owner does a nice job of maintaining the unit in good condition, but overall, it was just ok. This is not a luxury rental by any stretch (of course that would cost more). It's in an older building, and while this isn't unusual for Paris, there is a musty smell in the building, in the unit and in the bedrooms. There's a little courtyard, but you're overlooking corrugated metal roof covered with moss and mold, so that accentuates the musty feeling one gets. The beds felt old and again smelled that way a bit. The best room by far is the living room, which is well decorated, sunny and airy, and that's the picture you see. The kitchen is cramped but we ate out all the time anyway. Overall, the unit is of a fairly good size. The 4 of us didn't feel cramped. The building is on a busy street, so don't expect to be on one of those charming little streets of Paris. The location is, however, very convenient to several metro stations, and there are plenty of restaurants and boulangeries in short walking distance. The caretaker of the building was quite nice and helpful, and there were no hassles in getting our deposit back. Overall, one does get the feeling that the owner cares and does her best to maintain a good unit, but the next time, I might spend a bit more money for a little more vacation luxury.
