Jean-Pierre's studio apartment was compact but very well equipped and had everything we needed..we cooked in twice...there are two grocery stores within a half a block. The apartment is in a good location; a Metro line is also only a half block away, (we took the RER train and Metro to get back and forth from the airport and it was very easy), the Seine is 4 or 5 blocks, you can easily walk to Notre Dame, or hop on the Metro to quickly get to the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and all the other Parisian sites. A great value.
