This apartment is back from the boulevard so the noises of the street are muffled. There is no lift, so either pack light or be prepared to pull you baggage up a dark winding staircase. There are no lights in the area of the apartment staircase so take a flashlight or use your phone if you get there at night like we did. Parking to unload your suitcases at the street require you to park in a “bike/bus” zone. The bus driver did not appear to mind we blocked part of the stopping area. There was no one available to greet us, but the instructions and video Patricia provided were easy to follow. The apartment is small for 4 people, no dressers and limited area to hang clothes, we lived out of our suitcases which remained in the living space. Comfortable beds, that take up all the room 😊. Lots of kitchen utensils and equipment to make a meal, although the stove and refrigerator are small. Combination washer/dryer was a complete mystery to us. Very difficult to understand the manual. Wi-fi is slow and goes down at night ☹. Generous amount of soft, thick bath towels, and toiletries. Close to the Bastille Metro Station, and lots of restaurants in the immediate area. We would not recommend more than 4 people in this apartment, in fact four adults more than fill up the place.
