My friend and I have just spent eight nights in this wonderful apartment and couldn’t have had a better Paris experience. It’s conveniently located to Sentier metro station and for walking everywhere. Even though the apartment is in a bustling lively area, the apartment itself faces an interior courtyard and was completely silent. We both slept very comfortably in our separate rooms with comfortable beds and linens. Each room has its own shower and sink, and they share a communal toilet in the hallway. The building feels very safe, both neighborhood wise and the fact that there are two exterior doors to unlock before you ever reach your apartment. I will note there is no elevator and one lengthy staircase. It was however wide enough to easily carry my suitcase up. I found the Wi-Fi reliable and very fast. We only did some light cooking at breakfast each morning but I feel the kitchen is well equipped for something more extensive. The second bedroom does have a wall of windows that open to the living room. That and the door are your source of ventilation. Those windows have curtains, but while it is very comfortable for two close friends traveling together or families, there might not actually be enough privacy for two couples who are traveling together. I would be happy to return to this apartment in the near future!
