This was my third trip to Paris and the first time I realized how critical location is to your experience of the city. This apartment is wonderfully located in a non-touristy section of the city, filled with charming and reasonably priced food shops and bakeries. We saved a remarkable amount of money just by eating breakfast and dinner in the apartment. The studio is a five minute walk to the Les Goeblins metro station, where line 7 will take you directly to a number of locations you won't want to miss in Paris. We only had to change metro lines once during our week long stay, when traveling to the outskirts of the city. It is also near a taxi stand and an OpenTour double decker bus tour stop, so getting around town is incredibly easy. The apartment itself was clean and perfectly suited for two or less travelers. The shower's water pressure was fantastic, the free international calling to landlines was a well used perk, and there were English speaking news channels on the television. The only negative is that it isn't air conditioned, so at the end of June it was a bit toasty in the loft at night and with the windows open, there was no filter from the noise (the apartment is street level) and the mosquitos. But with that being said, the positives of this apartment far outweigh any negatives and I would certainly recommend this or any of the apartments in this building. We couldn't have been happier and were sorry to leave our little parisian home.
