Isabelle’s apartment is cute & the right size for 1-2 people. My husband & I stayed for 9 nights because we wanted a nice base location in Paris with a kitchenette. (You won’t have space to make huge, elaborate meals, but the 2 burners & microwave work well if you’re creative with your cooking & take advantage of the multiple grocery stores and great Place d’Aligre market a few blocks away for some premade goods.)
Isabelle was nice enough to let us drop off our bags when our flight got in before the 3 pm check-in time. We wandered the neighborhood for a couple hours while the cleaner got things ready for us. Entry via the key box was easy.
The bed and shower were good size. My husband is very tall so having a tall enough shower was a novelty. (The water heater is small, so be aware if you like long showers.) Having a heater in each room was nice for being able to control the temperature, we stayed nice and cozy. There was an extra comforter as well.
The trickiest thing was honestly figuring out the TV remote. Despite a music club around the corner, the neighborhood and building is very quiet. We had a nice time and can recommend both the location near the Bastille and Isabelle’s apartment specifically.
