A mixed review: Pros - Location is terrific. The Sentier metro is about a 2 minute walk to the flat. We felt very safe in the area. We very much enjoyed the Rue Montorguiel. The crepe place across the street is delicious. The pizza/pasta place, Il Tre, is terrific once we had enough French food. The elevator to the flat was very convenient. Renaud was quite responsive. We were able to drop off our luggage early which was quite helpful. The flat had a washer and dryer which we used and were grateful for. The location is excellent - central to all of Paris. Cons: The beds were very hard and somewhat uncomfortable (an Ikea pillow topper would help). The towels were treadbare, worn and scratchy (please replace the towels!). The child upstairs started running around his flat from 6:30 am and didn't stop until 10pm (no kidding - one speed and loud!). Another reviewer talked of this but I can't stress enough how loud and rude this was. I wish I had paid more attention to that review. Renaud stopped by one day to fix some issues in the flat. I can't tell what was fixed but later we went from having 2 overhead lights (3 were available) to only having 1. Also the bathroom sinks was perpetually clogged. The water pressure was very low. The bathroom was almost too small to close the door. Otherwise, the flat was spacious and well located for a Paris flat.
