The apartment is a lovely renovation, with sparse but stylish furnishings and fresh surfaces. Not a lot of direct light, as windows only look out onto the inner courtyards, back walls, and rooftops of other buildings, thought this isn't an unattractive view.

We didn't cook much, but the induction stove and cooking pans were great.

The bathroom is lovely, with a great shower (with limited hot water reserves—don't dawdle) though something of an (opaque) fishtank. For non-couples, perhaps privacy and access are an issue, since the bathroom opens to the bedroom. Anyone on the couch will have to pass through.

There's a projector and stereo for use, the wifi was reliable, and we found the apartment very comfortable. Lots of stairs, so keep that in mind with luggage.

Though the side street isn't directly situated in a neighborhood, the location was excellent for us. Just walk around the corner a couple times to find cafes, bakeries, and shopping. Velib station close at hand.

Clement stayed in good contact with us, and we had no problems meeting him to pick up the key, or checking out. We enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to return.
