We highly recommend Pierre's apartment; it is our favorite place to stay in Paris when available. The location is outstanding - on the left bank of the Seine close to Notre Dame - It's about a block away from an area with a diverse array of really good shops, restaurants, and a hotel/bar that hosts no-cover jazz a few nights a week. The wifi is excellent. The house guide had all the information we needed to run the appliances. Also it contained some really valuable information on the local restaurants, shops, and recommended areas to visit. The kitchen is a full working kitchen with oven/stove, pots/pans, baking dishes, utensils, microwave, refrigerator, and dishwasher ("washing machine"). There is no laundry washer, but there are a couple "lavaries" a short distance from the apartment (we did not visit them). The apartment heating (individual steam radiators in each room) worked very well even when the temperature dropped well below freezing. Annek made a few good suggestion on events in the area and made sure we had everything we needed. Communication was excellent as before. We hope to stay here again.
