Excluding issues with gaining entrance to the apartment (which I'll detail below*), we really loved the place! The pictures and other reviews are fairly accurate, so if you're looking for a small place with charm right in the centre of things, then this is the place for you! The three balconies were essentially THE reason we wanted this place and they didn't disappoint- the middle is large enough to comfortably sit out on and the other two have easy standing room or ledge sitting- you're four floors up right on a corner of an active side street in little Japan so great people watching and charming views of all the buildings and lanes across the way. VERY good location with a Metro stop just down the way, easy walking distance to major sights, and a boulangerie on your corner so breakfast can be quick. Small lift/elevator in the building and the building itself is very quiet. As the other reviews note, the location itself is very noisy- lots of people on the street at night and bin lorry/garbage truck first thing each morning- but the balconies have metal shutters which really help with the noise and light. We felt well rested. Again as other reviews note, the shower does have a black mold problem and the paint is peeling due to moisture but the bathroom did seem clean and the shower is quite roomy so you can avoid the mold? It's not a bathroom for feeling pampered in but it's not disgusting. We found the pullout bed to be fairly comfortable, never moved to the floor as others suggested. The bed is creaky as are the floorboards (though the herringbone floorboards are another selling point for the Parisian experience). No full length mirror if that matters, though there is one in the building's entryway. Overall, we loved this apartment! *However, the check-in experience was bad enough that we seriously considered finding a hotel room, which seems to be due to mismanagement by a company handling many properties and that we were doing a later check-in. We had a very nice person meant to meet us who was a half hour late due to Metro delays (while we stood in a drizzle). Once there it turns out the key fob was not working so she proceeded to repeatedly buzz all of the apartments until a resident came down upset that she was bothering everyone and waking up his children (not a great start to our stay!). The resident let us in and then of course the key to the apartment itself is not correct, so we wait while she attempts to make calls to track down the key. I gather that a worker had taken the keys for a repair and then not returned them? So this was another half hour of awkwardly standing in the hallway while this poor woman tries to get ahold of people after hours. After asking for an update and details, she will be returning with...
