We had a fantastic stay in Aria & Herman's apartment. The check-in process was very smooth, and Aria's friend/colleague who planned to meet us there and show us everything was very understanding when it took us way longer to arrive due to Paris traffic. The apartment is exactly as described. Very clean. Good kitchen with everything you need to prepare/cook your own meals. The bedrooms were very spacious - larger than they look in photos. We had plenty of room during our 2 week stay - 3 adults and one child (5 years old). The stairs up to the apartment are tough (as described) and thus the apartment wouldn't be suitable for some, but we were fine with them. As some others have mentioned, it can be a bit noisy in the master bedroom on weekend evenings due to noise from the bars below, so earplugs recommended if you're a light sleeper. These are minor points though - just things to keep in mind. All in all, the apartment is wonderful and in a fantastic location. We would definitely stay here again without hesitation!
