Although small, Quentin's apartment was well-appointed and the space was used well; the mezzanine bedroom gave a wonderful sense of space, and skylights in the right places ensured that there was plenty of natural light. We were given a helpful introduction to the layout of the apartment, and made to feel at home. The kitchenette is sufficient for basic cooking (with two pans and an electric hob) and stocked with the essentials, as well as enough crockery; a good microwave with a grill function could serve as an oven, though cooking on the stove is more practical. The television exceeded expectations, with a PS3 and an extensive game library, as well as working with AirPlay, making it easy to stream music and video to the television (in light of which the lack of cable television matters less). The apartment is very centrally located – it takes a few minutes to walk to the Louvre, and any location in central Paris can be reached by walking; the area itself is lovely, albeit rather commercial, and all of the necessary shops were very close, as well as two Métro stations within easy walking distance.
