We could easily live in this apartment, in this area, for months. The apartment is just like the pictures, on the floor above the street level shops. It is bigger than what we thought, much like a small American one bedroom. It is in a great location just a few meters away from Duroc Metro station. It is on the Hop-on-hop-off bus route.
You can do accurate distance calculations for attractions from Duroc since it is that close. We went everywhere on the metro with occasional Uber rides. The area is safe and higher end.
A grocery store and bakery/sandwich shop are very nearby with plenty of other cafes, restaurants, bakeries, grocery stores, butcher shops, pastry shops cheese shops, ATMS and the high end famous Bon Marche department store, all in walking distance.
It has a good kitchen with a nice four burner induction range, a microwave and a hot water pot. The kitchen is very functional and not cramped for working. It has an open food prep island which separates the kitchen from the living room. The refrigerator is not full size but big enough with a small freezer space. The kitchen equipment such as place settings, plates, knives etc., is a mix and match affair. Same with the furnishings. There is a small front load clothes washer, which is very quiet; no dryer but a drying rack and plenty of coat hangers. There is a dish washer, which we did not use; iron and board; and hair dryer.
The bedroom is a nice size with plenty of closet space and shelving in the room and hall. The bedroom is very quiet. There is a modern shower/tub with good water pressure and plenty of hot water and a sink, which connect with the bedroom. The single toilet with no sink is just outside the bedroom door. The living room has street noise at times since it overlooks the street. There are plenty of blankets. The queen mattress is fine but bodies tend to drift to the middle.
We were fine with what was there but there were things we purchased or wished we brought:
A sharp 6” knife and a bread knife.
Our pillows.
A large cutting board.
Nylon scrub pads since we found no stores with them.
Saran wrap.
Large coffee mugs.
Bigger bath towels.
Salt and pepper shakers for the table.
More power adapters for devices. They have a very useful three plug power strip but it needs the adapters for USA plugs. If you are just using chargers, it can be the simple no-transformer type since most chargers self adjust to european power.
We also wished that we had asked for a phone number and the courtyard door code! Our oversight. We were sort of stuck a bit trying to get in and we did not have the phone number. But luck was with us and a workman let us into the courtyard and our hosts found us quickly. They were very welcoming and gave us the tour and instructions. Mostly in French but sign language worked fine. In short, we loved the place, our hosts, our stay, and the Paris metro!
