The photos do not do this great apartment justice. We have stayed in many Paris apartments but do have price constraints and have never enjoyed such a roomy and well-designed apartment within our price range. This is a secure building on a street that fills with young club-goers most nights. They can be loud until the wee hours but this apartment is so well laid out that the noise is not an issue at all. The bed is large and comfortable and there is a second large one in the room set apart by a low clothing storage unit. It is not at all crowded. Twice the size of my bedroom at home. Plenty of closet and drawer space. We loved having the extra half bath as well. There is a very well-equipped kitchen and even a washing machine and dishwasher. We used the former but had no need for the latter. The living room furniture is very comfortable and attractive and the dining area is more than ample with cushioned built-in seating. The apartment is bright with floor to ceiling windows at both ends equipped with electronically controlled room-darkening blinds. A real gem that we hope to return to in the future. When we learned the address after booking we were astounded to find that it was the same building our daughter lived in in college 10 years ago. Her apartment was on a lower floor and was definitely not soundproofed (as I heard firsthand during many a skype conversation ) nor was it updated so I was a little apprehensive but those concerns melted away as soon as we turned the key.
