The check-in was easy and location is convenient to visit all the attractions in Paris. When we walked in the place smelled a lot like cigarettes even though smoking is not allowed. Throughout the night you can easily hear the neighbors walking and some talking loudly. Early in the morning there was construction and a lot of noise from the street so it was hard to get a restful sleep although the bed is comfortable. The apartment gets very cold during winter even with the heaters on. The kitchen is well equipped with dishes and spices but did not have oil to cook. The overall vibe is cool if you’re into a messy industrial style. A cleaning person arrived before our check out time and we had to rush out. The size is really spacious. I would recommend if you’re a large group staying a few nights and are open minded. Alexandre was very helpful and responsive.
