The apartment is centrally located; it is walking distance to the Gare de L'est and also there are countless of dining and shopping options around. It is a good size apartment for two people for Paris standards and you will have the basic amenities provided (don't forget to buy your own coffee capsules or ground coffee for the two types of coffee machines). The bed is very comfortable and the bedroom has enough space for the luggages and the storage. The bathroom is big enough and the hot water pressure is very good. There is an elevator but it is the smallest elevator I have ever seen :) it works fine and good for one person and a luggage but there is no room to move once you are in:) It is part of the charm; we found it entertaining. The heating is very very good and you will be happy to have such a good heating like cold days we had in Paris. And remember, the apartment is looking over the courtyard (But there is plenty of light), not to the main street so you might need to keep the curtains close most of the time since there are other apartment windows are directly across or next to yours.
