I stayed here for four nights having moved here from slightly smaller (and slightly more expensive) accommodation in the Marais area. Pros: Excellent value for money; Audrey is lovely and very helpful; metro very close by; has strong wifi connection, tv and stereo; many supermarkets, restaurants and shops nearby. Cons: There was a strong smell coming from a blocked drain in the shower which Audrey tried to fix to no avail (I'm sure this would have been fixed by now though) - because this is a very small apartment this was a significant issue as the smell was very strong and ended up getting into my clothes (which meant I had to spend extra time/money on laundry); area seems safe but isn't really the type of area that one can just "go for a stroll" without regard for where one is walking; no blind on the window above the bed which meant that I was woken up at sunrise (not necessarily a bad thing!) - although a blind would have also been useful as there were workman working on the roof three mornings that I stayed there and they could see directly into the room; toilet is very very small and can be hard to wriggle around in. I would recommend staying here depending on how much of an issue budgetary constraints are (they were an issue for me as I am soon going back to study). Although I would be more inclined to recommend the apartment had I not had the issue with the smell from the blocked drain as a continuous detractor. Personally, I would have preferred on this occasion to pay a little bit more and stay somewhere else without the negatives that I have listed. However, this apartment is infinitely better than any hostel or other budget accommodation that I have come across and Audrey being so ready and willing to help with any issues that arise mean that I would generally recommend this apartment to the budget conscious traveller.
