1) It is SMALL! if you are not European you will be in shock at how small it is- as an American it was an adjustment. 2) Small- however, it is well kept and in a great location that was near the metro that got us everywhere!! 3) LOTS OF STAIRS! So the 1st floor in Europe = 2nd floor in the US, so this apartment is on the "5th" floor- but it's actually the 6th floor if you are not from Europe- so be ready for a hike up the stairs- not ideal if you have big luggage. We had only backpacks so it wasn't too bad- but it got us in shape fast!
There is a nice little bar right below and across the street, a monoprix super market just around the block, as well as a bakery and other stores.
The only problems we had were with the shower and the stove- the shower overflows as the drain is too small, and the floor doesn't slope enough to send the water towards the drain. The stove- I couldn't figure out how to work it to save my life- so be sure to ask how to operate it and the microwave (it's unlike any microwave I've ever used- took us a few tries to figure it out).
Caroline was very accommodating with our late late check in and had a friend there at the apartment to meet us to let us in. Overall- it was a pleasant stay and the location was perfect!
