Listing was as described in a great location just a few minutes’ walk from the Censier-Daubonton bus and Metro lines as well as a grocery store, restaurants, etc. The neighborhood was generally quiet. Excellent communication and assistance from Louise’s father Martin. We were also able to check in upon arrival in the morning. The clothes washer is available for use and a drying rack is provided. There is also a TV and stereo in the loft where our kids slept.
We enjoyed having 3 separate sleeping spaces though the ladder to the loft may be an issue for some people. The apartment is up 3 full flights of spiral steps, so be aware.
We used the kitchen including the frig and stove/oven. There are dishes and cooking pans etc.
Only hiccup we really had was that the hot water is temperamental and not always available. Martin showed us how to use it, but you will have to plan accordingly for showers and washing dishes. When able to use, the shower is very warm and the pressure is excellent.
Overall, we appreciated the space, location and wonderful interactions with Martin. It won’t be ideal for everyone, but it worked well for us.
