Overall: small space, nice view, okay location, decent quality/cleanliness

Ultimately, I would not recommend staying here with two people and that's what I hope to reflect (fairly) in my review. Even though we spent very minimal time at the apartment itself, the small bedroom and bathroom made relaxing at the end of the day hard between two people. It pretty much forces you into the living room, which isn't huge itself. I don't think the pictures are necessarily misleading as to the size of the place, but the point is it's not ideal for two people to be staying here in the same room. I think it's a good bargain spot for one person, definitely, but that doesn't mean you can't find the same thing elsewhere in the city.

For clarification, we stayed in Lou's room for three nights.

The pros were the vicinity to the metro, which was less than a 5-10 minute walk (demanding on which station you're going to), the view, which is even better than in the photos, and the presence of an tiny elevator, which was a godsend with luggage (although it stops one floor short of the apartment's level). With a price point such as it is, the view is going to be hard to beat. There neighborhood around the apartment wasn't the best in our experience. You have a lot of hair salons and not much else. All the "usual suspect" sights to see are a 20 minute walk at minimum and it didn't appear to have a very good late-night scene that we could find. It wasn't

Cecile was there to greet us and a friend saw us out, which were both fairly painless experiences. Both were very nice and cooperative, but the dual roommate dynamic makes for some potentially weird situations in which one of them may be present while you're there for a short time. It wasn't necessarily unpleasant, I just thought it was atypical and slightly awkward.

The quality of the furniture/decorations/utilities themselves are more than satisfactory for the most part, but you definitely get the feeling like you're staying at a friend's house that's out of town for the weekend. The bathroom definitely left something to be desired as far as tidiness goes. The shower situation was easily the biggest con of the apartment itself with an extremely low shower head and clumsy/illogical splash guard setup.
