This apartment is large, especially for a Paris apartment. Although we really didn't cook, we certainly could have. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, pots and pans. There is a dishwasher as well as a washing machine which we did use. We were a group of five so the three bedrooms and two baths were appreciated. Before we arrived we wondered if the single toilet in a separate room would be problematic but it really was not. The dining room table was large and the chairs comfortable. The dining/living area is a great place to gather at the end of the day.
As for the location, it is quite close to the Luxembourg Gardens, the Cluny, and the Pantheon. Notre Dame, Saint Chapelle and the Louvre are just a bit further. Although the windows are double glazed there is still the usual big city noise. I'm usually a light sleeper and I was fine with it
Koen was very responsive to all our questions. He was away during our visit but arranged for someone to meet us and was in touch via email throughout our visit.
Highly recommended.
