We had an absolutely wonderful month at Christophe and Alexia's place! The location is just amazing. It's on a quiet street just off of a beautiful and famous tree-lined street. It's within a few-minutes walk of several dozen amazing restaurants (we especially loved: Bistro Instinct, Creperie Gigi, Le Stand at Marché des Enfants Rouges, Gramme, Miam Miam, Big Love pizza, Les Chartrons). It's one block from a fantastic yoga studio (Atelier Marias) and a short walk from a really fun spinning (stationary cycling) place called Kiwill. It's on the first floor (i.e., up one flight of stairs) so it's up off the street but not a big ordeal to go out and come back like it can be if you are on a high floor. There are 3 boulangeries and two grocery stores very nearby, so it was easy to pop out for a croissant in the morning and a baguette in the afternoon and supplies at any time. (Make sure to notice the the fresh-squeezed orange and pomegranate juices at the Franprix just down the street.)
The apartment has beautiful big windows, comfy couches and chairs, and a small but smartly-functional kitchen. The kitchen sink was a little finicky, and you had to fiddle with the handle to get the faucet to turn off completely. But on the plus side the microwave is a combo model that also does regular oven (convection) heating. Laundry worked fine. We loved having a bedroom fully separated from the rest of the apartment. The bed was pretty comfy and we enjoyed the fun decor. Everything in the bathroom worked well -- comfortable shower and bath. If you have a lot of luggage or more than 2 people, you may find that there is not a lot of place to store your baggage and place your clothing, but for 2 people who travel light it was fine. Internet was lightning fast and never had issues. TV worked great. Our apartment manager Frédéric was very responsive and helpful. Check in and check out were a breeze.
Overall we very much enjoyed our stay at this place and would certainly consider staying here again.
