The apartment was perfect for 2 people (or 2 adults & 1 child on the pullout). Overall it was quite clean, although the bathroom counter, shower tiles, kitchen counter, and sink could have used a little more attention. Yes, I'm a neat freak. Stephane was so accommodating, allowing us to check in at noon instead of the regular later time. I'm sure this left less time for a more thorough clean. But truly, everything was as shown in the pictures! And of course, as mentioned, the mezzanine is low. I am 5'5" and barely stood up straight. My head touched the ceiling with a slight tilt. My husband is 5'10" and was not bothered by it. The apartment is in the 16th arrondissement, which is completely on the western side of the city. It can take about 30min using the metro to get to the center of town and 40-45min to Place de la Bastille depending on the time of day. The area is nice and quiet and we always felt safe, especially at night. It is very close to the metro & RER train. There are bakeries, small markets, and a pharmacy close by. Our stay had everything we needed - we would certainly stay here again!
