If you are looking for a feel of how Parisians live, this is the place for you! We are a family of 6 (kids aged 13-20), and appreciated the space this flat offered, and getting a chance to see Paris from a less-touristy aspect.
That said, I would like to offer some pros and cons, all from an American travelers perspective...
Pros:
Lovely flat, very well decorated, trendy and updated. Good security, very nice kitchen stalked with a few necessities (including an espresso machine and a drip coffeemaker), bathroom on the main level with a washer and dryer. Wonderful restaurants downstairs and lively street life. Close walking distance to many bakeries, grocery stores, a coffee shop, and moderately close to metro (subway). Internet speed was decent, even with 6 users! Balcony and view of the canal were fantastic. The look and feel of the place was really fabulous, just as the pictures show. We really enjoyed having a place to make breakfast and warm up snacks and just relax amidst all the sightseeing. Make sure you check store hours, since they have different schedules of when they are open.
Cons:
There is a bit of travel time needed to get to central Paris to see the sights, which added a good 20-40 minutes each way to our outings, depending on traffic. Uber is available, but of course that adds to your travel costs. We are used to air conditioning, so not having air or even fans was really tough. We opened the windows (no screens) at night to let the cool air in, but were covered with mosquito bites the next day, and bombarded with singing and partying along the canal until the early morning hours. The beds are decent, but more along the lines of futons, and one bed was a bit small for two adults. We would have enjoyed more (and fluffier) pillows and towels (we were each allotted one towel, one hand towel and one pillow). Also, the dryer is not the same as the dryers in the US, so plan on letting your clothes line dry.
All that said, I look back at our 5-night stay fondly. We enjoyed getting to know Paris from a different perspective and this is a great place to experience.
