Overall, we had a great stay at this place. Upon check-in apartment had not been properly cleaned, but we brought this to Mercedes' attention and she sent in a cleaner the next day and had the apartment properly cleaned from top to bottom. From the 2nd day, we felt much more comfortable and enjoyed the bright and spacious apartment. We loved the location as the Metro is steps away as is the Marché Bastille. (Don't miss this market as this is where we found some of the very best food). It should be mentioned that the apartment is on the 5th floor with no lift, so be prepared to walk a lot up a winding narrow staircase. We didn't mind but it's not for everyone.
