Highly recommend this apartment. The location is fantastic, the apartment is comfortable, and the service from Host in Paris was great.

Despite the fact that there are six cafes/restaurants within 30 yards, the apartment is for the most part quiet - both the building and the street. It was cool so we didn't sleep with the windows open, so that might make a difference. Even when the windows were open, we could hear some traffic from the busy street around the corner, some passersby, and always the garbage trucks in the morning, but nothing constant or horrible.

Good access to metro and bus stops, and easy walks to Notre Dame, Ile-Ste-Louis, and places a little farther away.

The bedroom, living room, and dining room are spacious. There were two of us and we didn't feel cramped. Some of the furniture is a bit more worn than the photos show, but it's nice, clean, and comfortable. I slept on the pullout couch bed, which wasn't as comfortable as a regular high quality bed, but was better than I expected from a pullout.

The staff at Host in Paris were great - prompt, polite, informative responses to emails, and very nice on-site (although the on-site person doesn't speak much English and I speak just a little French, we managed to figure everything out).

Make sure the person letting you in shows you exactly how to use the two key-pad entries. The instructions for the lobby's inner door weren't super clear, and we didn't have her show us, which caused us to be locked out until I eventually figured it out. This can easily be avoided if you remember to have her show you how to do it.

Also make sure you have a way to let Host in Paris know if you arrive late. Our RER train from the airport was delayed & because I didn't have an international phone plan, I borrowed a stranger's phone to send a text. I'm not sure that Host in Paris received it, but they were gracious & they did somehow manage to arrive within a few minutes of when we did.
