Communicating with Anna and Dylan was super easy. They got back to me very quickly and answered all of my questions. We chose this location based on proximity to my husband's place of work for the week, and because it had a Pack-n-Play and we didn't want to haul ours from the States. But another thing that drew me to it was its simplicity. The apartment wasn't adorned with lots of accessories like ceramics, books or breakables at low level, things that a toddler (our 17-mo old daughter) could get her hands on. Whereas some guests might see that as no 'personal' or 'homey,' we were thrilled that someone's fine china wasn't on display. Check-in was also extremely easy. You always worry that the language barrier or arrival time due to delayed flights will cause problems but Angela lives there and was right there after we buzzed. The instructions for getting into that first door were perfect as we had a bit of luggage to bring in from our tax from the airport. Although there is no elevator, and we had a stroller and a kid that doesn't know stairs yet, it wasn't that bad to be honest. We brought our umbrella stroller and I was always able to hold her in one hand and throw the stroller over my other arm. This is one of those times where you appreciate the old spiral staircase and that you're in freakin' Paris, rather than complain about the impromptu mini-workout each day. It was fine. And we could have left the stroller at the base of the stairs. There was one just like ours there (locked up to this metal hook) when we arrived. It's out of the way and it seems like the designated spot for such things. The apartment (like everyone said) is exactly as it's shown in the photos. The bathroom is sizable in comparison to our NYC 1935 original bathroom. It was lovely to have a washer/dryer, which I never expect in a city apartment (we don't have one at home). Be sure to only use them during day hours though. We mistakenly put on the dryer the night before we were leaving and the neighbor (very kindly) asked us to turn it off. The sink in the bathroom is like those in a hotel. So much space to have your things out and about. At home, we have a pedestal sink so this was wonderful. They even have one of those towel warmers which is luxurious for me (but typical in Europe I'm finding). The kitchen was also great. Such a sleek, clean design. They had everything we needed for our minimal cooking. And staples like oil, spices, etc were in the cupboards. The hosts even apologized that some dishes might not match and I got a kick out of that. Everything was great! In case you have one of those clip on baby seats that attach to tables, this table was great for that. Our daughter...
