This is a gorgeous apartment in a secure building. There was ample space for our family of 4.
The kitchen was well outfitted, the beds were comfortable, and the decor very stylish and comfortable.
Krystel was quick with communication. The hosts live across the hall, but we didn't really need to bother them, so we never met. We did have someone come into the apartment one morning while were there and take the iron. Not sure who that was.
The problem we had with the apartment was that 1) it is on a very busy and very noisy street 2) it was extremely hot in Paris that week and there were 2 fans, but no a/c in the apartment. We couldn't really open the street-side windows to allow cool air in because the street noise (cars and people) was so loud that it became uncomfortable. This meant that the apartment was uncomfortably hot most of the time. Our son slept in the back bedroom, which faces the bus depot which was less noisy, so he left his window open and had the coolest room in the place.
If you're from a big city and you're used to lost of sirens and street noise, this may not bother you.
There are steps on a winding staircase to get to the apartment (first level), so if you have mobility issues, this apartment is not for you.
The neighbourhood is dominated by Indian and Pakistani shops and restaurants and we never found one nearby that catered to our family's tastes. However, there are lovely boulangeries and a couple of grocery stores within 2 blocks' walk and the kitchen is amply outfitted for cooking.
The metro is super close and provided us inexpensive transportation throughout Paris and as far as Versailles.
All in all, this is a fantastic apartment that would be best visited in cooler months- or by renters who can tolerate the noise.
