The apartment was as pristine and cozy as in the pictures! Hilal met us at the apartment even though we were a bit later than expected. He was very warm and welcoming, and even stayed to show us various highlights of Paris on a map.
The apartment is well equipped with tea/sugar, dishes, a microwave, a hair dryer, and a clothes washer and drying rack. The futon was very comfortable and the bedding was clean and cozy. The pillows were great, too!
The apartment is a little away from major attractions such as the Louvre and Notre Dame, but there are two train stops very close and the metro is easy to navigate. There are great restaurants and bakeries nearby as well, and a mini market nearby. We walked to Notre Dame and there was a lot to do along Rue de Belleville. Also, you can see the Eiffel Tower from near the Pyrenees train stop!
I couldn't recommend this place more. It was a great home base for our short time in Paris, and Hilal and Mikal were wonderful to work with.
