We had a wonderful stay at this apartment. It was very centrally located, which was a major factor in why we chose it. There were many restaurants within close walking distance, as well as places to shop, and metro stations. Admittedly, the walk up to the unit was tight, but manageable should you not have a lot of luggage. The apartment was well-equipped with AC and a washer/dryer (located outside of the unit). It was very handy to have both given the hot Paris weather. While the unit is small, it had everything we needed including a Queen-size bed, a cooktop and a mini-fridge. It also has a telephone with free calling in Paris, and even to some countries around the world. Because of the skylights, we had a lot of natural light, which was fantastic. The only thing is that we feel the apartment is really meant for 'couples'. The bathroom/shower is very open (glass walls), so it's hard to be sharing the apartment with friends, even with the loft sleeping space. It worked for us, as it was our honeymoon, but we can't see it working otherwise (even with a teenage child). Overall, we had a fantastic stay!
