It was a pleasure to stay in Wissam and Natasha's Pompidou Escape. Every bit of the compact space has been put to good use, and the apartment has absolutely everything we needed for our 5-day stay. It's light, clean, stylefully decorated and comfortable, and the location is great. The Rue Rambuteau has everything you need in terms of specialty food shops and green grocers, and there's an organic supermarket around the corner. We had bought 5-day metro passes, but found that just about everything we wanted to see was within walking distance. The hosts provide information about the neighborhood and there are Paris guidebooks for beyond. Although we weren't able to settle in upon arrival because the apartment was still being cleaned, the friendly concierge allowed us to drop our bags in the apartment anyway.

While the apartment has a fold-out bed in the living room, I personally think it would be a bit tight for more than two adults if you plan to cook/eat in, because the kitchen is quite small (though well-equipped) and there are only two bar stools. On the other hand, if you plan to be out most of the day/evening and eat your meals out, it might work if you don't have very large suitcases. There is enough closet space for your stuff, but no real place to get large suitcases out of the way.

We would definitely stay at the Pompidou Escape again!
