A proper Parisian experience.
Wake up in the morning, make yourself a Nespresso coffee, then wander out onto the little balcony and watch the world go by below you. You're 6 floors up so you can see the iconic Paris rooftops and chimneys and get a good view down the main street. If you lean out a bit you can see the beautiful and famous iron tower.
The place is lovely and cosy and pretty much has everything you need. The bed was comfortable (though perhaps bring a top sheet if you are used to having one). Mathilde is a gorgeous and friendly host who ensures you are well looked after, provides good local information and speaks very good English.
The location was good. There is a bus route right outside the door and metro station very close by. It's a little outside the area of all the tourist attractions but that does have its benefits. There is a supermarket within 50m which was very convenient. There are also bike hire stations nearby but we ended up deciding not to use them as we could take in the sights better by walking.
Things to be prepared for: the elevator is coffin-sized so you'll do a lot of walking up stairs. There is no air conditioning so you may be a little warm in summer. If you leave the windows open for some air the morning traffic is surprisingly noisy. The toilet is also very cosy. But these are all part of an authentic Parisian apartment. :)
