I feel there needs to be a photo of the bed as part of the listing - which I never saw in advance and that was my mistake not to look for it. While it may be fine for some, for my longer stay (9 nights), the bed was very poor. First, it's too low to the ground, and second after a week, my back hurt using it. I wouldn't have booked it if I'd seen it wasn't really a "real bed" but known it only a 6-inch mattress in a ground-level frame. btw I've stayed in more than 20 other apartments in Paris, and while the bed is a frequent concern, this one rated really low on the scale.

Bathroom is big for Paris and water pressure and heat were good and fast.

As for the host, she was nice, but hassled me about our late arrival (around 10:30pm) which I had informed her about from the beginning. I tried to change my air reservations twice, and she finally said ok but it added stress and worry because what if we were late? I was not sympathetic to her story that she needed to be somewhere the following morning - not for $200+/night. It all worked out but hosts should not accept reservations with late arrivals if they are not clear that planes can be late and it's very hard to change reservations these days and even if you can, it often adds cost. More importantly it caused me to worry significantly and make extra effort that wasn't required.

Though I'm used to minimal kitchens in Paris apartments, I was surprised there was no microwave - so something else on me to check for in the future. If you want to stay in this touristy area, it's decent deal.
