The location was in a good neighborhood with walking distance to two different metro stations. Lots of restaurants, shops and stores near by as well. Vincent was attentive to our needs and accommodating at all times. The apartment building is older, as described, and does not include a lift/elevator so those staying there would have to climb multiple stairs to get to the apartment itself (which is located on the last floor). Stairs aren’t much of an issue for me but I was traveling with three suit cases, a small child and an older mother so it did not make it easy for us to access the apartment. The apartment itself is very cozy (small living quarters) with not a lot of room to unload or unpack much personal items depending on your length of stay. The living room floors squeaked too much and we had to be mindful of the other folks living in the building so it impeded us from moving around too much. We were unable to stay for our entire length of time (one week stay) and only managed to get through one night because of the heat. The week we were in Paris happened to be the hottest week of the summer, temperatures from 90 to highest of 108 degrees. The apartment did not have any air conditioning. There were fans but only made things worse with the heat. The apartment would be best for those who travel light, without children and those who do not mind stairs.
