After a long flight from Miami, FL USA, my family and I were very grateful to check-in early (at 1 PM) so that we could rest up. That was a huge plus and saved us unnecessary expense and inconveniences . The apartment is on the 3rd floor and there are no elevators, so bringing up our luggage was a bit challenging, but good exercise! If you are physically challenged, you may want to re-consider. The bathrooms are super small. There is only (1) toilet and it too is in a very small area. There are (2) showers. Unfortunately at the time of our stay, there was black mold. Hopefully the owner has since rectified this matter. There is no A/C, so if you stay in the summer it does get a bit hot at night, but with Paris being fair, we slept with the windows open. The apartment was very dusty, primarily the master bedroom. As for the surrounding area, there’s a good Lebanese restaurant downstairs. There’s also a nice coffee shop as well. The owners of the coffee shop are super nice! There’s plenty of restaurants and shopping nearby.
