We had a pleasant one-week stay in this bright third floor studio in a modern building two steps from the beautiful Paris Opera. From the Opera Metro hub, we went all over Paris by train or on foot. The apartment is situated on a quiet side street that is only noisy on week-ends when people patronize the restaurant down the street. We found the apartment to be clean, comfortable and well-equipped. We used the washing machine, appreciated the hot shower, and bought breakfast items at the convenience store nearby. A couple of cautionary items: if you use the dryer, check clothes often because the timer did not work for us and it over-dried. Also, there is an annoying musty smell from a lower kitchen cabinet that I reported to bnb). . Also, don't be shy about contacting your local facilitator about anything you need. Their job is to make sure you are happy so they can get a good rating. Joffrey, our facilitator, was very responsive but it would have been nice to meet him in person.. All and all, this comfortable little studio was great for a vacation for two, but not for four.
