The apartment is located on 4th arondissment, about 5-7 min walk from Metro ( the Arts and metiers station).
The area is nice, has a few local restaurants and bistros. Lots of jewelry stores, but they sell only en gross, no retail unfortunately.
Center Pompidou is about 10-15 min walk, and Notre Dame about 20.
We preferred to walk to main attractions, so we did a lot of walking.
Now about the apartment.
You cross 2 inner courtyards to get to the actual building, and for each you need the key fob ( only one key was provided, which made it a bit problematic).
The apartment is very small, claustrophobic, pretty much a room divided by a half wall, one side a kitchenette and a sofa and TV, and the other side the bed.
To access The bathroom you climb a few stairs ( watch out for the ceiling, very low, we hit our head a few times). Bathroom is super tiny, has one sink and underneath the washing machine ( which makes access to sink a bit difficult), a small shower and toilet.
The shower drain was clogged and we flooded the bathroom with every shower. This was not fixed while we were there 4 nights.
The bed is extremely uncomfortable, it’s a lumpy mattress over a metal frame. Both of us woke up with back pain after one night, so then We chose to sleep on the pull out couch, which at least was firm.
There is no real AC, there is a noisy portable unit that has a plastic tube going out the window, covered by the curtain ( initially we didn’t even notice it). So, the window is always open
, which defeats the purpose of AC.
Also, there are some exposed pipes ( industrial look?.), which were noisy, especially during the night, creaking and water draining?
The apartment is on first floor facing an inner courtyard, always dark, covered by curtains, and no view.
We had no incentive to spend any time in the apartment, we barely had time to move around the bed, and our luggage, so we walked the entire day and got back just to sleep.
We didn’t use the kitchenette, since there was no space.
To summarize, I would not recommend this place.
