Axel was waiting for us on the street when we arrived, and he gave us a quick run down of his place. The only tricky thing, which he pointed out, was that you need to flip a switch on the fuse box if you shower in the morning and plan to shower that same night, the hot water heater automatically heats at night, so flipping the switch will allow it to reheat during the day so you'll have another hot shower when you return home. The hot water is really only enough for one shower (maybe seven minutes?), but this was just fine with us...the water pressure was great! Anyway Axel explained this all to us, so no problem. He was super welcoming and we had no problems during our stay. The bed is on the floor which is clearly shown in the photos, but I was a tiny bit worried it wouldn't be comfy. But it definitely was a very nice bed and we slept great on it. I loved having a Nespresso machine in the room...we had never used one and are now hooked! We cooked breakfast on the little electric plate every morning, french eggs are the best. Overall a very good experience and big thanks to Axel for everything! Oh and the best thing about the apartment is the location smack dab in the middle of the Bastille neighborhood...it ended up being our favorite part of Paris! Would definitely stay at Axel's place again.
