We were looking for a spacious 2 bedroom apartment for 4 near a metro stop and on a tight budget. Stephanie's place fit the bill! It's not really walkable to any of the standard tourist sights in Paris, but if you don't mind riding the metro, this is a great location. Stephanie provided a fully equipped kitchen which was useful, and the grocery store and boulangerie are just around the corner. The furniture is older, but it was clean and the beds were comfortable. We felt very safe - there is a code at the outer door, a key to get past the entry way, and a keyed front door which was heavy and metal. Because the apartment is on the 1st floor, it stayed cool despite the lack of air conditioning. We used the washing machine and dishwasher several times, and they both were very good; but it's all in French! We were very pleased all around and would stay there again.
