The apartment is in a very versatile location, which makes it perfect for seeing the whole area; plus has walkable attractions close by. The building is secure with 2 security doors which felt comforting. The building has an elevator but it is small and definitely only about 2 person sized; nevertheless it is extremely helpful after walking all day and avoiding the winding stairs if that isn't your thing. The apartment is a good size only draw is the ceiling is sloped on the roof side. The bathroom is updated and easy to use except the shower door does require a more contained shower than US showers due to the small sized shower door. The kitchen is small but worked great for warming things up and chilling beverages in the fridge. The door to the apartment is difficult to use and get used too but locks great once shut; however the door doesn't have a great seal and air leaks in through it. The walls are also very thin and we could easily hear the neighbors however they were quiet at night so it wasn't a problem for sleeping. The heater in the apartment works but is not fast heating of the place so requires time to warm up when turning it on. We didn't have to much problem as it wasn't that cold outside 75-60 degree variation of highs while we were there. The windows are nice and large sized but none of them had screens which was fun but did let in mosquitos we noticed over the week. The bed is fair quality and good sized. However it did seem to have a bit of a problem staying on the box, we often had to push it back towards the wall back onto the frame. If you are staying for an extended stay keep in mind you will most likely need to pick up toilet paper (& paper towels if you use them) while your there. Chantal told me she doesn't supply them throughout the stay, and only one roll of each was provided. Overall I would recommend the place and would highly consider staying here again if I made it back to Paris.
