We stayed at the apartment the week between Christmas and New Years and enjoyed our stay. Sandrine's apartment is very charming, clean, comfortable and spacious. She obviously has a great eye for design and space! We arrived about 30 minutes prior to our scheduled arrival time and Sandrine was kind enough to let us relax in the apartment while she finished preparing the apartment for our stay. The surrounding neighborhood is fantastic with lots of bakeries, restaurants and shops. There are several metro stations within walking distance which makes getting around Paris easy. There is a washer, dryer, dishwasher and oven in the apartment all of which worked great. The wifi works great and there is even a computer in the apartment you can use. The shower has great water pressure and the tub was great for soaking sore muscles after a long day walking around Paris. There isn't really a place to unpack and hang up your clothes and the apartment could do with a little extra light in the evening nothing an extra lamp or two couldn't fix. On the weekends the neighborhood can be noisy late at night but that comes with staying in such a hip, fun neighborhood. The apartment is a 4th floor walk up (or 5th floor American) but after all the pastries we ate we didn't mind. We would definitely return to rent Sandrine's apartment again and we hope it's available next time we are in Paris!
