Cons: Lots of dust bunnies and an unsafe environment (the sliding mirror closet broke and almost landed on me). Iron was broken with the waterside so we had to make do. The fridge never regained an appropriate smell back making my boyfriend and I question the entire apartment's cleanliness making US clean. The pillows were all flat so we bought one when we expected normal ones. The pictures were extremely misleading with decor. The dryer was very confusing for an American and after repeated attempts, I gave up and hung the clothes.
Pros: after exploring the area, we realized the REAL Paris life was here and not a tourist area. We had a real experience. We had a fantastic view and that was our favorite part. Looking outside after a long day made the nightlife something to marvel at. The Metro station was the best part, we didn't have to walk far to rest our tiring feet. The only other thing was 5 story stairs, you'll definitely lose all the French calories after them!
