The apartment was spotlessly clean, secure, had a comfortable bed and is in a quiet building. The thick walls and double glazing meant that the apartment was well protected from disturbance from any street noise, and the street itself is fairly quiet despite being so close to restaurants. The amenity of the area is excellent with easy access to shops, cafes, restaurants and transport, and an easy walking distance from many of Paris' famous cultural icons - galleries, museums churches etc. Andrea, who acted as host for Jean-Claude, was welcoming and helpful on my arrival, quick to respond to messages, and very pleasant to communicate with overall. There were some details that were odd though, and a bit disappointing as there were a few of them... specifically, although there was some loose-leaf tea in the kitchen there was no tea pot, infuser or strainer, and no tea bags, so I needed to buy an infuser to make tea. Likewise, although there was a coffee making machine (the Nespresso style but a different brand) no coffee pods were provided. I'm usually quite good at operating machines but the bench-top oven either didn't work, or I couldn't figure it out - and the instructions were only in French. The toaster's pop up mechanism was faulty so I needed to hold down the lever to make toast, and the kettle had a slow leak. I also felt that a bedside lamp (so you don't have to stumble to the other side of the room to find the light switch in the dark) and clothes drying rack (as there is a washing machine) would be helpful additions to add to the basic comfort. Each of these things is small on its own, but that there were so many of them detracted from my enjoyment of what would otherwise be a great place to stay.
