Sunny fourth floor apartment (there's a lift) with large windows overlooking the street. The small kitchen is fully functional and well-equipped. Modern bathroom and good wifi. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. The location, between Gare de Lyon and Bastille, is very convenient; just a short 5-10 minute walk to the Marais and Île Saint-Louis and left bank locations. Be sure to check out the boucherie just a few doors down the street for daily specials. Buy these at noon and reheat for dinner. There's a supermarket a block away. Walk a few more blocks to Place d'Aligre and you'll find everything you need to prepare a gourmet meal. Our host Marie was out of town during our stay (we met at the end of the week), but her cousin Dominique, who lives in the same building got us settled in and oriented to the apartment and the neighborhood. Dominique was the designer/decorator for the apartment, and her art is on display, both in the apartment and in her studio downstairs.
