We just returned from a week in Paris at Mathieu’s apartment. We (family of 4) had a great visit and we would stay there again. Some notes/observations. We read through the reviews for this apartment and another, bigger apartment he has in the same building before booking. So we felt that we had a good idea of the pros and cons before we booked. It is in a good area. It is very close to the Pasteur Metro stop- we got an unlimited ticket for the week and it worked out well. Plenty of restaurants, bakeries, pharmacies, and supermarkets in the area. It is safe, we walked around late at night with no issue. Mathieu was quite accommodating to us and very responsive when we had a question. The apartment is a city apartment, it is not huge but it makes good use of space. We appreciated having a queen bed even if space around the bed was tight. As other reviews note there are a small toilet and a shower in what are like small closets in the main bedroom. We did not use that shower (small and we were afraid water would come into the bedroom), we used the apartment’s primary shower which was roomier and had a sink in the room. That toilet area is quite small. Someone with long legs can’t sit down and still close the door. It also lacks privacy because it’s frosted glass and lacks a closing mechanism. We primarily used the other toilet. While this is a 2 bedroom apartment the living room has doors so can be used if necessary to create a third sleeping area with privacy. There is a sofa there which may open up. The kitchen was well stocked with cutlery, pots, pans and cooking implements. The washer was helpful - it is a combo washer/dryer and we air dried clothes rather than using the dryer which may not be vented so it would have taken too long to dry clothes. There is Wi-fi but it is slow (which I believe is a Paris thing in general as they rely on DSL). Doors could use a little adjustment in terms of closing.
