Location, location, location! We loved this flat! So unique and everything you want in a central location of Paris. We were within 5 a minute walk of the Ponte Marie metro which we used often which gets you everywhere. The half bath on the first floor was nice to have. Managing the spiral stairs was a little tough at first but you got use to holding on to certain places to make it a safer climb up and down. The AC was great - there are two AC units! The kitchen has all the modern appliances including a "Euro full-size" fridge with a bottom freezer and dishwasher. The unit had a view of a courtyard and we opened the windows which brought in a nice breeze. The upstairs bathroom has a step down to get in and a step up to the toilet. I am 6'3" but had plenty of room in the shower which had great pressure and plenty of hot water. Our host and his assistant was very nice, welcomed us and checked in with us at least twice. He had maps and books on Paris on the counter. The building entrance has a code to get in the main door and then a fob to get in the inner door and then a key to get into the unit - we felt very secure. Minimal number of stairs to get your luggage up and down with plenty of storage on the main floor and a nice glass door storage unit in the loft bedroom with a queen sized bed. The full-size pullout sofa was also comfortable. The apartment is very quite, you don't hear any street noise. Wifi and cable worked perfectly. We also used the washing machine and dryer which made it easier to pack less knowing we could do a wash or two. Lastly, the photos were accurate. You will love this quaint little flat, it has everything you need.
