We enjoyed our stay very much. So nice to stay out of the main Paris tourist areas and yet easy access by public transport to every where on Metro lines 2,5 & 7. Also Gare de l'est & Gare de Nord.
There was a misunderstanding with our actual arrival even though our changed dates / arrangements had been confirmed, of arriving a day earlier. Camille went out of her way to try and fix the situation, which we appreciated. However there was probably more information she could have passed on if she had more time.
The apartment was very comfortable and we felt very much at home. We particularly enjoyed the art work in the apartment.

However, we did feel the family had left for their holiday in rather a hurry and had not total considered our arrival in their home. We felt the apartment was not really clean. We had to clean the sink & draining tray before we felt like using it. The freezer top drawer was broken, the ice looked very old and the draw was full of frozen bread crumbs, so needed cleaning and the ice replacing. There was no toilet paper, which we had to buy plus cleaning clothes (there was a very grubby cloth in the sink we did not feel like using) and soap.
The apartment bedrooms are small with very little space for luggage or to hang clothes.
We know that August is not the best time to travel as so hot. We were very glad of the air conditioning and the lift. The apartment is very noisy with the outside doors open, which is necessary for air circulation. The air con is only in the main bedroom.
Restaurants in the area are ok but it is fun to move into other areas to experience the real French experience.
