In my haste, I neglected to read that the apartment was on the fifth floor and without an elevator. But Chokri was super lovely when we met to collect the keys--without hesitation, he grabbed two of our suitcases and bounded up the stairs. The apartment was lovely, with a large, comfortable bed, spacious terrace, all necessary utensils in the kitchen and even a box of DVDs and a variety of books for entertainment. The location doesn't get any better--super close to a couple of metro stations and surrounded by bars, restaurants and the best shopping.

The only thing that raised my eyebrows was the fact that there was no door to the toilet/bathroom (and I am unsure how I missed this bit of information). My travel companion wasn't 'that kind of friend' so every time one of us had to use the bathroom, the other had to hang out on the balcony with a pair of headphones on. But we had a lovely time and would most definitely recommend this cosy little studio on Rue Rambuteau, particularly since we left with our calves just a little bit musclier.
