We 4 well-traveled women stayed in this apartment for 5 days in mid-October. We had high expectations based on the photos which were all met. Delphine takes great care of the apartment which has spacious common rooms and bedrooms - both bathrooms were great - the outside terrace was a lovely bonus that we did not expect to use this time of year but the weather cooperated and we enjoyed several evenings of pre-dinner drinks out there. As the photo shows, there is a staircase that take you from the ground floor (building entrance) to the first floor where an elevator awaits for your luggage to go to the 2nd floor where the apt door is. The staircase that leads down to the terrace is easy to go up and down but there is no hand railing.
I am very familiar with this neighborhood from previous Paris visits and it is indeed convenient for public transportation (many buses & metro lines) as well as early morning walks down to the beautiful Tuilleries gardens. The bakery a few steps from the apt door is an added bonus since it also serves coffee and sandwiches to go -- if you need to get croissants before it opens, as we did that Sunday morning, the cafe across the street (on the left) offers both croissants and coffee to go! The Terrasse St Lazare brasserie directly across from the apartment served us a great dinner one evening . There is a mini-Carrefour (for Americans, think a mini-Walmart) in the train station (along with many other shops) for food and wine -- one of my favorite Paris seafood restaurants, Brasserie Mollard, faces the station but make reservations and of course the major department stores are only a few blocks away.
