We had a great stay! This apartment was extremely comfortable for our party of three. It has just the right amount of furniture to be comfortable, not cramped. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, utensils, and cookware. The location is excellent...blocks away from the metro, bus stop, and there is a small grocery store around the corner.
There was an issue with the door not locking, but Louise arrived within 15 minutes to fix it. She was kind and helpful. The apartment is full of thoughtful touches: stacking side tables to place where needed, umbrellas, a Nespresso machine, and an instruction manual for the apartment's amenities.
The area was louder than I expected. There is a mini-mart directly across the street that is open until 3AM. There is traffic noise and and periodic jovial conversations outside the mart. Luckily, the bedrooms are in the rear of the apartment facing a private courtyard and are quieter. The sofa bed is in the front. But even as a light sleeper, I was able to get enough sleep on the sofa bed. It is typical "city noise."
We felt safe here. We would walk the neighborhood after dinner. The Pompidou and adjacent shopping areas are open late, and we always felt safe walking home after dark.
There aren't great views out the windows, but we spent most of our time elsewhere so this was not important to us. The important things were all addressed: 1. a great location 2. feeling safe 3. prompt and easy communication with Louise. I recommend and would stay again.
