this apartment was amazing! We stayed here with 5 adults & the place was perfect for us. We had plenty of space & the location cannot be beat. We stayed for 10 days in November. The apartment is 2 minutes from a metro stop & within walking distance to Notre Dame & the Louvre. We used the metro everyday while we were there & it was so convenient to be able to jump on it & just go.There are many cafes & shops we found nearby that we sampled from everyday. The apartment was clean & we had no problems getting in contact with our host when we had questions about key codes. The location is off the street and very quiet & charming. During our stay we were able to cook at home & had time in between to hang out and relax without feeling cramped. The place has two large sofas & a large center kitchen island that we would all sit around in the morning for coffee. There is one shower downstairs so if you're able to coordinate -it's not a problem at all. The stairs can be a bit tricky at first but we got used to them. We had 4 people sleeping downstairs & 1 upstairs. The upstairs bed is a pull out but was comfortable enough for the time we were there. This is a great way to spend time in Paris-really felt like we were at our own home. We hope to be able to return to Paris again & when we do we will definitely want to stay here again.
