A great place! Very modern overall. I felt like I was at my own place. Tea, coffee, bread and jelly and even some beverages were there when I arrived, awesome after a long trip. Nice firm mattress on the pull out sofa bed. Everything needed for cooking was in the kitchen, oil, spices, vinegar, etc. The bathroom is fabulous, shower is HUGE and has the soap, hair products, etc needed, so you do not need to bring or buy on arrival! Closet for all your luggage and clothes so they are out of the way. The outdoor patio is a very nice perk! Even though it rained, we were able to relax under the canopy on the couch and enjoy some tea and coffee in the late afternoon after waling all over Paris during the day. There is a larger open area off the patio that is actually shared with the adjacent apartment, but the patio is private and nice. Access to the apartment from the street is easy using the stairs or you can use the elevator, but it is only one floor up! Bus 302 stops within feet of the apartment but you can walk to Gare du Nord train/metro station or two other Metro stations easily. The location is an apartment that you come home to each night, enjoy dinner from your kitchen, relax on the patio or watch some Netflix, then get some sleep and go explore Paris during the day.
