Most of our stay was great! Communication was easy (quick and detailed responses from the hosts), check-in was smooth, and the place was just as pictured. More importantly, the shower is one of the best I've had in France--large, plenty of hot water, no flooding, etc.! It's nice to have two couches in addition to a few chairs at the table. The apartment really has everything you need and was very quiet and calm during our stay which seems amazing since the neighborhood can be quite animated at night. The low ceiling on the mezzanine bed was the only real drawback but we knew what to expect and it was just for one week. We were really pleased with the apartment.

One warning, however--when it rains, the ceiling leaks above the table/chairs. We were thankful that our electronics hadn't been sitting on the chair that received the water (before we over things and put down a towel/pots to catch water). I know that Paris buildings are old and that repairs can be complicated when working with the co-owners of a building, but the bulges in the ceiling where water was coming through were of concern--at some point, the ceiling may not be structurally sound and future apartment guests may not know to avoid putting their belongings where water may fall. Fortunately, this happened at the end of our stay but it did make the space less comfy and usable.
