This apartment was amazing, and the host and her son were wonderfully responsive, both before we left the States and durng our stay. Our family of four (with two teenagers) were more than adequately spaced out, with room to spare - each of us had our own rooms/areas, plus the couch that pulls out. The photos were spot-on, as was the description, and the house manual was extremely helpful. Everything was fully-stocked (toilet paper, plenty of fluffy towels, paper towels, dishes, utensils, cleaning supplies - dishwasher detergent, washing machin detergent, etc.) and easy to find. Picking up the key was a breeze, and they even accommodated us with dropping the key in an alternative manner because of the time of our flight home. We knew nothing about Paris when we put together our itinerary, but quickly learned that this was the right choice for our family. Situated right between two Metro stations, a 10 minute walk to a Big Bus Tour stop, and right near Rue de Rivoli, with its restaurants, shopping, and grocery stores, it was the place to be. There was some street noise, but it is a bustling metropolitan area, so it kind of comes with the territory. (Maybe bring enough outlet converters so that everyone can use their phones to play white noise to distract from the outside noise.) The washer and dryer were key for our family, as we packed light and just did laundry every day or so - and the dishwasher was a great bonus as well. Two full bathrooms, with one being handicapped-accessible, both with heated towel bars was great as well. We didn't need to use the oven or stove, but we did use the microwave - having them all available was a perfect back-up plan. (We were in Paris, after all, so we did a lot of dining out and then shopping locally and utilizing the fridge.) We would definitely stay at this property again!
