Check in/check out was very easy. Simply get the keys from Le Ju (the restaurant across the street). The location was a fun, young, vibrant, LGBTQ area with many restaurants. The room and bathroom space was limited, but is not different than described in the posting. There is a very small elevator that will get to the 5th floor, the apartment is on the 6th. The ladder to the bed may be difficult for older guests but was fine for us (22 years old). The location was close to the metro line and within a nice walk to the Louvre, Notre Dame, and Pompidou! Overall, we enjoyed our stay and had a great experience.
