I and my 2 adult children stayed in Regine's apartment for 5 days at the end of July 2014. The place was perfect for us -- convenient, clean, and comfortable. When we had trouble with the sofa bed, I emailed her about it late one night. She replied immediately and then came by the next morning to show us how to set it up. We weren't there a lot, so I can't comment on the neighbors or daytime noises, but we really appreciated the elevator and the plentiful hot water at the end of the day. If you need air conditioning and quiet to sleep, or would like to cook every night on your vacation, this is probably not the right place for you. We loved it and would stay there again if we are ever lucky enough to go to Paris again.
