Virginie's apartment is lovely, set on 3/4 levels it has 3 sleeping spaces accommodating our family group of 6 very comfortably. The entry is through a secure gate down a private path - Virginie sent access codes and instructions just before our stay. I got a little confused about where the actual door was once I'd collected the keys and trotted up 5 flights of stairs before actually reading the instructions (Doh! - door is next to the red post box)
There are several steps inside the front door down to the living area with TV and music system (even spare batteries for remotes should they be required) , with plenty of space for the group. From the Living area, a few more steps take you down to the well stocked kitchen, a smallish bedroom with double bed and then a toilet in the utility room alongside the washing machine. There is a mezzanine above the living area with a double bed and a futon (which we didn't use). A further bedroom is up another set of stairs from the Living area along with the bathroom.
Plenty of towels were provided, the kitchen had everything we needed (the coffee machine is Nespresso, so buy some own make capsules at Carrefour), could have done with a cafetiere, or filter, but no problem. The talking fridge made us all smile - "Kon'nichiwa" - each time we opened the door
The wifi/internet details are on a helpful note left inside the apartment and was reasonably reliable. Lots of other useful info on the note with local emergency contacts in French.
My wife and youngest son loved the basic Yamaha upright piano. We all slept well, despite this years very warm August Parisian nights. We had a large fan downstairs and ceiling fan in a bedroom.
Location was great for us, we flew in to CDG, so got the RER then metro to Richard Lenoir, then went home on Eurostar from GdNord. Apartment is close to Metro lines 9 and 5 we could get everywhere we wanted to be easily, though we used the bus a lot too. Lots of small supermarkets nearby of every variety, Auchan Voltaire is a bigger one and there's a nice baker just down the road on the corner. The area was very quiet, partly because it was August and Parisians vacate the city and close a lot of the businesses, but still great to walk around and soak up the atmos'.
We had a very relaxed, comfortable and pleasant stay, everyone would have happily stayed longer! Loved it!
