Location,location, location! We were thrilled with this place..yes it is small as European places are but it worked perfectly for two women travelling for the week. You are in the midst of a great area right on metro and bus lines .We found it super easy to get anywhere we needed to be. I had read a review about the fold out couch blocking the bathroom..we kept the couch made up as a bed the entire week with no problems at all. I mean you have to step past the corner but we managed fine. If you are looking for a place to lounge around while on vacation this may not suit you but we were up and at it first thing in the morning..getting in later in the evenings. We would eat a little breakfast at the apartment then head out for the day and come back later in the evening so really a place to shower and sleep was all we needed. Louise is super responsive to any of your needs so just book it and enjoy Paris!
