Our family had a fun stay during our Paris trip. Communication was great! The location was ideal for us - 10 minute walk from the train station and easy travel by subway to all the sights. The local neighborhood had plenty of restaurant options and bakeries. The apartment was big enough for us (small by US standards, but normal for metropolitan city standards). The kitchen was perfectly equipped for meals at the apartment. The combo washer/dryer was helpful even for our short trip. A few things to be aware of are that the elevator only goes to the third floor and the apartment is on the fifth floor and the spiral stairs may be difficult for some (we had no problems and were using a travel stroller). The other thing was that the apartment does not have air conditioning and so visiting in the summer may be very difficult due to the heat - the high powered fans were great but we visited in September when the temperature was much more mild. Overall great experience!
