This is a charming, very French apartment and building with all the modern amenities except air conditioning which is very common in Europe. Sadly, the weather is changing and we experienced very high temperatures up to 38C. The old buildings thick walls, 2 fans, shutters and blackout curtains helped to manage the heat, but if you are not used to it you might be uncomfortable. The place is very well-located and you can walk and take the Metro everywhere. That will keep your waist trim while you try all of the pastries in your path. The hostess could be more flexible with requests and check-in. There's no self-checking option so you need to accommodate her! The French are inclined to say "it's not possible" instead of offering solutions, so that was my job. All in all, it was a great stay for my family of 4.
