Joanna’s place was great. It could not be more centrally located and the price was way better than a hotel. It is not the Ritz so if you are expecting that you will be disappointed. The apartment has everything you need, and is very clean. It’s in an older building which adds to the Paris experience. We did not use the kitchen (except for fridge) but it has everything you need to cook! The bathroom and shower are small but again everywhere we stayed in europe had small bathrooms! It faces a very busy street so there is noise at night but there’s AC which really helps as you don’t have to keep windows open. I never had any trouble sleeping at all. Joanna’s apartment has so many wonderful extras like a fan (which we didn’t need because of the AC), iron, ironing board, and hair dryer. There’s also a washer with provider laundry detergent which is very convenient but we did not use as this was the last leg of our trip. The fact that the Chatelet metro was directly next to the apartment made it VERY convenient to access the city. However, we did walk quite a bit in all sorts of directions and it was wonderful!! HIGHLY recommend the restaurant Au Vieux Comptoir across the street, we went there 2 of the 3 nights we stayed here. Thanks Joanna!
