The pick up of keys was made extremely easy by Louise, the flat was spotless when we arrived. The location is very central, 5 minutes maximum from the Metro and the same from a huge selection of very good boulangeries and restaurants (pastries at Huré on rue Ranbuteau were our favourites!).
The flat was pretty small for a family of 4, the bedroom had a great bed but the put-up bed was very creaky and not comfortable with a thin lumpy mattress. Whilst this might normally be a quiet neighbourhood (Thursday night was fine) Friday night was very noisy with music playing until the early hours.
