I ended up loving the apartment - just something about the Bohemian atmosphere of the place and having lots of space.
Beautiful windows looking out on Parisian street;.
Quiet in the bedroom.
The only real challenge was the lack of hot water, as it started running cold after 3 minutes. So having a bath or shower was a little complicated :)
Tomas was really friendly, and did everything possible to try get this sorted, including getting a new boiler within two days!
