Wonderful experience staying there for a month -- mid-September to mid-October of 2015. Great location!!! Everything you want is within a couple or a few blocks. Restaurants from fast food to superb food, stores and shops. Two blocks down the street: two fromageries; two wine merchants, two supermarkets (you have to look for them), a foie gras store, a laundry and dry cleaners, and bus stops and a Metro station. Did I mention it is an active, vibrant neighborhood -- three blocks to the Picasso Museum, six blocks to the Pompidou, and less than a mile to Notre Dame Cathedral. Not the sophistication of some of the Left Bank areas. It's has the feel and character of upper West Side, which suited me just fine. Lots of places to just sit with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. I would not hesitate to stay there again or recommend it to others.
I was a little taken back when I first looked out the windows and saw only the blank wall of an apartment building across the court yard. The swap off is quiet and a very calm atmosphere. You would never know how activity level of the neighborhood. The management provided a new table lamp when I asked for a better light for reading, which I thought was quiet responsive. I am, in part, a Luddite and despite two visits by the cheerful man from management, I never figured out how to get the TV to work. I could get the washing machine to wash clothes, but not dry them. Some very detailed instructions, with pictures for the technically challenged, would help.
The bedroom is a separate room with a door and a double bed. The pull-out sofa also sleeps one or two, and is very comfortable. The apartment is more than adequate for two, three or four people (four if everyone gets along).
Again, I enjoyed the apartment very much and would stay there again in a heartbeat.
