Bed clean, firm but forgiving. The only problem we had is that the floors we dusty and dirty. We go bare feet in our houses and the floors left our feet crunchy with lint and dust. Landlord promptly came at our request but only cleaned one room then when we said it wasn’t clean enough yet, said we could leave. I ended up using towels to clean floor so we could get into bed without dirty feet. This is a nice place, it just needs a much better cleaning service. Also, I suggest wine glasses (it is Paris), a drying rack for dishes, and a lock box for the key just outside the apartment door so tenants don’t have to carry the key outside where it could be lost. As to location, there are excellent bakeries on either end of the street, a very good handmade noodle place right across the street, and a few coffee shops within two blocks if you need to sit with your laptop and do some work. Otherwise all the wonderful things about Paris are a short walk or metro ride away.
