Perla greeted us exactly when she said she would, with the house finished to an immaculate standard. If you are looking not to spend lots of money on food then the kitchen is perfectly good enough to cook in as my girlfriend and I did a couple of times during our stay. Otherwise, you are very close to a supermarket (next door) and a few lovely restaurants. Everywhere is walking distance from the apartment with a maximum of 40 minutes walk with most places about 20 minutes walk away. The metro is 2 minutes away and can get you to all places much quicker than walking, but walking allowed us to soak in that paris vibe. Perla's place has a fold down bed but that wasn't a hinderance at all. The courtyard it is situated in is very safe (2 gates, one of which you can't see into) which gave us the confidence to keep the windows open during the night even though it was on the group floor.
