Julie's apartment is comfortable and cozy, and for a city flat, quite spacious (the bathroom especially -- the tub is huge!). The kitchen has a full stove and oven and is well equipped, and there are lovely markets for cheese, meats, bread and wine very close by. The walk up three floors is a bit tight with heavy luggage, but you only have to do that once. Also, the area is generally pretty noisy at night, which isn't a problem with the windows closed but in the warmer months might make it difficult for light sleepers. However, you're in the middle of a lively neighborhood and you can live like a real Parisian! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
