The apartment was in a great location and was very central to the city. There is a metro station right outside the building on the main street (within 500ft.) that covers 2 metro lines and allows easy access to all of the city. Just a few blocks south was a very lively street with many great restaurants and lots of shopping, including a large shopping mall. The apartment is right off of a major street which has a market within steps of the building entrance for easy access to food and drinks, bars, restaurants, and night clubs.
The apartment was small, but had all the necessary amenities. There's a small fridge, stove, and microwave in the kitchen. The living room has a table, a large movie collection if you find yourself wanting a night in, and a tv. The Internet is fast, as I was able to stream Netflix without issue. The futon sofa bed was not very large, but it fit me and my girlfriend comfortably. My feet hung off the edge a bit, but I am 6'2. The heater also worked well, which was nice for us since it was very cold in Paris during our stay. The building itself was nice enough, with 2 locked gates to go through, which helps you fee secure. There's also an elevator, even though you may not need it since the apartment is on the first floor.
Our only complaint was with the bathroom. The sink and toilet were fine, and the size was good. The shower was the issue for us. There is no shower curtain, so prepare to soak everything in the bathroom, especially the floor. So lay towels down so you don't slip! Also, the shower head has no place to go, so you have to hold it in your hand the entire time. Finally, the hot water runs out if you're showering in the morning, so don't sleep in or let the water run too long. We had no issues when showering at night.
Other than a couple of small things, everything went very well with our stay. We were very happy with the apartment and especially the location! We would definitely recommend staying here and will consider it again when we come back to Paris!
Thanks,
