The apartment was very spacious in a lively neighborhood, full of bakeries, bars, restaurants, and it wasn't too touristy. It's very close to two metro stops and many bus lines so it was very easy to get around. Christine was very helpful and had a few treats for us and a toy for our child. The balconies are very lovely although we couldn't really enjoy them because we have a toddler and the rails were not really designed to keep little people in. The apartment was stocked with essentials, like umbrellas, maps, etc which was very helpful. And there was an elevator! A rare find to have so much space in Paris and modern amenities. We were 3 adults and 1 child and were very comfortable. Besides the balcony, the layout was nice for a toddler - no stairs in the apartment and not a lot of fragile things to break.
