Patricia's place was the perfect accommodations for our group's winter trip to Paris. Making the reservation was easy and communications were quick and informative. Our trip was mostly a wander through the city and the central location made it easy for us to go out and walk in any direction and when we were done it was always quick and easy to walk back or catch a train. The area always felt very safe. There are quite a few shops and restaurants nearby and its quite busy and lively well into the night. Check-in and check-out was very simple. The apartment itself is off the street though the entrance is on, so it's the best of both worlds for convenience and comfort. If you are a very light sleeper, you might have some trouble as the flat is adjacent to a club of some sort (not a standard nightclub) that played music till about 1-2am some of the nights, but it wasn't particularly loud and the music itself was standard pop. It was like someone had the radio going in the next room over. None of us had problems sleeping with it in the end. The space is roomy and well-organized and the windows kept it bright even in the rainy gloom. There is a place for everything, including a laundry basket for dirty linens behind the door. We had plenty of room to sprawl and relax. Early mornings began with the coffee machine and tea (tea and sugar was provided, bought coffee at the store nearby). Furniture was quite comfortable, though we were thrown by the square pillows. Turns out you fold them and they become rectangular. =) The toilet is a bit small, but fully functional and was well stocked with supplies including a hair dryer which was very much appreciated with the weather as it was. Just a small warning to avoid touching the hot water pipe in the shower as it gets quite hot.
Overall, I would highly recommend this apartment for a group looking for a home base during a trip to Paris.
