We *loved* the location of this apartment. I would suggest walking or using the metro. We found it challenging to get Ubers simply because of the traffic jams and 1-way streets of Paris, not due to the apartment's location. The kitchen is large. We made breakfast each morning, but note that you’ll need to supply your own basic cooking supplies, such as oil and coffee. I didn’t see an oven, but maybe the microwave had that function and I just couldn't figure it out. We used the electric cooktop. It was nice to have a washing machine and drying rack. Depending on the weather, your clothes may not dry quickly. The pictures are accurate, so if a place that contains many personal items is not for you, consider another place. The bed was comfortable, but note that there’s no headboard and only 2 pillows, so if you like to read or drink coffee in bed, you’ll be more comfortable on the sofa or one of the chairs. Above all, the location of the apartment in a lively and fun part of Paris makes this place a winner. It's location inside a courtyard means that you'll still get a good night's sleep. The check-in was easy, but I found the key drop instructions to return the key confusing, as you have to scan the fob on the side panel (not front panel) of the box. The host checked in frequently to ensure our comfort, and he was friendly and helpful in assisting us in finding a location nearby to store our luggage at a reasonable price until the apartment was ready. We would stay here again.
