This top-floor apartment is very centrally located in a busy and historic commercial district in the medieval part of town. From the apartment you can easily walk to many of the most famous sights of Paris. Generally, the apartment gives the impression of a bachelor pad -- with limited cooking supplies and spare decoration including a guitar and carved masks from around the world. The beds, including the pull-out sofa bed, were comfortable. The apartment has a full range of appliances including air conditioning and a washing machine. The hot water was scaldingly hot and heated on a set schedule. Though ample, it can run out by evening. It doesn't seem like the prior occupant cooked much, because it lacked basic cooking supplies like a medium-sized pot and salt. The apartment served our needs well, but families might want to seek out a more tranquil spot with a better-equipped kitchen.
In general, the communication and responsiveness, even during a late check-in, was excellent and reassuring.
