The view and the location are exactly as advertised, making Eric’s place a really good base on the left bank to see Paris. You will need to be prepared to walk a little ... the metros are all at least a 5 min walk away but if you are happy to walk 20-30 mins you can get to a huge amount of wonderful places for sites, shopping and food!
The apartment was nice and quiet; the neighbourhood is a quite one and the apartment complex is back off the street which is nice.
The kitchen and crockery/cookware is somewhat basic, but everything works and we were able to cook up a beef daube after grabbing everything from the local butcher and grocery store.
The bed was pretty comfortable and a good size for a Parisian studio apartment, and we never felt cramped in this apartment.
Overall our stay was pretty good, more or less as expected. Eric was very responsive to our questions and gave clear check-in directions which was important given it’s a bit of a maze to the back building where the apartment is located.
