We spent six nights at Le Mandar and cannot say enough good things about it. Everything is exactly as pictured and as described. We were three mature adults staying in Paris for a week. We did not use the loft beds but each had our own bed since one of us slept on the couch in the living room. There were plenty of blankets, pillows and towels, plus hairdryers, soaps, dish liquid, umbrellas, hangars, storage shelves and portable closet space. Everything is very clean. The larger bathroom has an enormous shower with super water pressure which is very hot. The kitchen is actually a galley space in the living room but it is very well equipped and has everything needed for meal preparation including a dishwasher. We used the washing machine and drying racks to do laundry. Heating system is warm and easy to adjust. Loved the neighborhood, just steps out of the door there is everything one might need plus wonderful cafe and restaurants. We made daily trips to the U Express grocery stores on the street, and it was great to have a pharmacy right on the block when one of us caught a bad cold. Extremely convenient to 3 metro stops Sentier, Les Halles and Etienne Marcel are all within a 5 minute walk. The location could not be better, we walked to the Louvre, Orsay, Left Bank, Cluny, St Chapelle, Galeries Lafayette, Marais, Republique and the bus stop for the RoissyBus to CDG airport is an easy 15 to 20 minute walk. If you take the RER train from CDG you can get off at Chatelet then walk to Le Mandar in less than 10 minutes. One of our party flew to Italy from Orly and had no trouble getting to the Orly airport shuttle at Denfert Rochereau via the metro from Les Halles. Antoine is a thoughtful host, he was not able to greet us personally when we arrived but gave very clear instructions on how to enter the apartment building and the apartment. He came by to make sure that we were comfortable and also stopped in when we left to say goodbye. He responded quickly to questions via messaging. If you are new to Paris you can consult the books and maps provided at the apartment. The apartment building and street are quiet but the cafe directly across from the apartment does stay busy until midnight or so and there can be some noise but it doesn’t get rowdy or too loud. The only thing that was not perfect was the smaller bathroom; it sometimes had an odd odor, possibly related to building sewer issues? This was minor inconvenience and would not prevent me from staying at the Le Mandar again, which I hope to do the next time I visit Paris
