I would recommend the apartment for several reasons: it is very close to the Metro, shops, bakeries, cafes and restaurants (none are more than average but it is Paris so the standards are high), and a large Auchan (just downstairs); it is very quiet for those who like their sleep; the kitchen is well equipped; there is lots of space; the hot water and Wifi were fine. It is heated by the building but the individual heaters in each room did not seem to work so a bit chilly in the winter. The apartment generally is very worn, so if you like to be spoiled on your vacation, this is probably not the place for you. But, overall, no complaints.
