The location of this apartment is perfect. We visited when the workers were on strike and the subway wasn't running. This apartment was within walking distance of many of the sites we wanted to see, and great restaurants also within walking distance. The view from the 5th floor is beautiful, and having an elevator in the building was great. The elevator stops at the 4th floor, but it was not a problem for us to walk one flight of stairs.
The space in the apartment is nice, with adequate space in the living room to relax and a separate bedroom, bath and kitchen. To be honest, we didn't utilize the kitchen much, since we did not cook any meals for ourselves on this trip. But it was nice to have dishes and utensils when we brought back dessert to share at night. The kitchen was equipped enough for more extensive meal preparation, had we wanted to cook.
Gaspard was so accomodating to us, allowing us to drop off our luggage early on arrival and stay a little late on our last day. His instructions on entering the apartment were clear (codes for building, elevator and apartment key lockbox). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
