Location: The location is fantastic, close to several metro lines in the heart of the hip Popincourt district, full of trendy shops, bars and cafes and a fantastic market at Bastille on Sundays. The apartment itself is one spacy room in a quiet courtyard.
Feel: The room emits a stylish, artisty sort of atmosphere, there' an aesel, a canvas, painting equipment, some finished paintings and even an iMac on a comfortable desk. (I didn't check if it has Photoshop but I suspect it does.) It's on the ground floor so it's not the lightest apartment in Paris but it was not dark either.
Equipment: The thought of a combined wc/shower solution (typical of Paris I hear) takes a minute to get used to but no complaints overall: hot water pressure is excellent and the bathroom is clean. The fridge, the microwave, the coffee maker and the electric kettle were working flawlessly in the kitchen, and there was an ample supply of tea filters and coffee. The bed is comfortable.
Access: You can get the key from a box, which is convenient, and Tatiana is always quick to supply you with the necessary information.
