This was a fabulous apartment, and located about a mile from the fancy shops. With nice weather, it was such a lovely and easy walk, with plenty of bistros along the way. Heading towards the Galleries Lafayette, you can walk on the rue de Petite Champs, where there are many Asian food options (which a nice surprise) and where apparently ramen is the thing (several places had lines along the street on Friday night). There is a Franprix across the street that I wish I took more advantage of; it had basic groceries but also roast chicken if you wanted a less expensive meal. There was good night life around the rue Etienne Marcel, and the Centre de Pompidou was not far off, either.
The apartment itself was as pictured; beautiful and eclectic with a view of Paris rooftops. The bed was comfortable and clean. I would recommend asking for a tutorial on how the shower works- I accidentally switch the wrong nozzle and was very surprised. I think the water takes a while to heat up as well, and there is a water heater in the toilet, on which you may want a tutorial. I would also suggest learning how to open and close the various doors- some, like the final door-code one leading to the apartment, should almost be slammed shut, and the door to the courtyard is a bit tricky. Note that you can only access the apartment by the elevator; I tried going up and down the two different stairwells and could not get outside from the one near the apartment door, and could not access the apartment from the stairs by the elevator. The elevator itself is very small, so if you have a larger suitcase you might not fit two people in it. The hallway between the elevator and the apartment itself is narrow and dark, so make sure you know where the lights switches are before it gets dark.
Overall, a very pleasant stay and I would love to come back to this very convenient location and beautiful apartment!
