this is a charming and airy little apartment in a nice area of paris, with every convenience.
i gave it four stars instead of five, because i really needed to have wifi internet....it is one of the main things i look for when choosing accommodation (i run a small company and i need to be able to get in touch)....and the advertising wifi wasn't working when i arrived.
nor was this remedied despite assurances that it would be, during my three night stay.
my text message went unacknowledged, and i was somewhat inconvenienced by having to hunt all over paris for wifi instead of simply being able to check mail twice a day at my leisure.
everything else worked perfectly and there is a washing machine/dryer/basic kitchen gear/coffee maker which is all very satisfactory.
if you are tall, the sloping low ceilings might be a bit of a problem. if you have any sort of mobility problem, you might reconsider, as this apartment is on the very top floor with a steep and narrow staircase. there is a lift part of the way, and it was working during my visit.

it was very pleasant at night to open the windows and listen to the sounds of the parisian streets below.
there are good bakeries and cafes in the mmediate area and the charonne metro station is a hop skip and jump away.
if the wifi had worked, i would have been 100% happy.
