Lea is a wonderful host who answered our questions right away. The bright colors, unique knick-knacks, and whimsical sense of humor in the décor make this a charming and fun home. (Look for tiny animals with big personalities throughout the apartment!) The fob on the keychain makes it easy to open the main outer door as well as the inner stairwell door.
If you want to cook while in Paris, this is a great apartment for that. Lea provides everything you will need in the kitchen. The large kitchen is equipped with stove, oven, dishes, silverware, glassware, utensils, fridge, microwave, dishwasher, a washer/dryer, and a large clothes drying rack. And corkscrews! The kitchen has a very good coffee press, so I never bothered to learn to use the coffee maker machine. (The washer/dryer seems to add a little water at the start of the dry cycle. I did not learn how to use the dryer cycle, so I used the drying rack.)
The bed was very comfortable (soft with firm support underneath) with a warm comforter bed cover and plenty of room for two people. There are blackout blinds to keep the morning sun out of your eyes. An assortment of pillows and blankets give you multiple options.
There are doors on the bedroom, living room, and kitchen, so you can completely close off any of these rooms, which is immensely helpful if there is more than one guest. As the photos show, the toilette is a separate room from the salle de bain. One must enter the bedroom to access the toilette and pass through the living room to access the lavatory and bathtub in the salle de bain.
The apartment is very near three metro stations, three different metro lines, and several bus lines. It is an easy walk to many grocers (organic and conventional), restaurants, patisseries, fromageries, etc. It is just a 15-minute walk from the Paris Opera and 20-30 minute walk from the Louvre.

Because this apartment is in the heart of Paris and so near nightclubs, there can be a lot of noise at night from people talking loudly on the street. Earplugs may help. This one drawback to this location has nothing to do with Lea or her ample generosity as a host. My Parisian friends tell me there can be noise at night anywhere in the city. There was less noise during the third week of our stay.
I hope to return to Paris and would gladly stay at this apartment again. This was an ideal apartment for our extended 3-week stay. Lea, thank you for helping us feel at home!
