Annie-Claire's apartment is one of the more charming apartments I have stayed in in Paris. Her apartment is an amazing location, in the heart of the beautiful Latin Quarter, which still feels like a real neighborhood (a boulangerie, bus stops, butcher, and small shops and cafe's all surround the apartment on nearby blocks.) The Luxembourg Gardens are just down the street, amazing for a walk, picnic, or run.

The apartment itself is spectacular, and you can tell a very interesting Parisian lives here! It's filled with interesting objects and books, and everything you would need in the kitchen (utensils, plates, glasses are all in the dining room.)

My friend slept on the pull out couch -- sheets and pillows as well as a duvet were left for the couch as requested. My friend loved the couch, we sort of turned it into a 2nd bedroom for this trip.

As far as amenities, bring what you need. There's a grocery store across the street for basics, though Annie-Claire provides sugar for tea and some condiments in the fridge. There's a hot water boiler for tea/coffee, and a coffee maker in the dining room. There were small shampoo/conditioners in the shower, but you might be best bringing your own things that you need (which I usually do).

And I have to particularly compliment the owner. Annie-Claire is just a pleasure to deal with. While she's not on-site, the owner was super responsive to a few questions I had and uses a professional check-in service
