Axel was magnificent about taking care of the little things that needed to be done. Keep in mind that this apartment is in an old building--it will not have same amenities as a hotel! But, you get the benefit of living as a Parisienne local in an apartment with other people who are living their lives. The living space was comfortable and all needed utensils, linens, and extras such as books and videos were great to have there. Bedroom was magnificent, lots of storage area. Kitchen provided everything you could want. Maps, books about Paris in French and English are there for your use. Great light and great neighbors! Keep in mind that you are in an apartment, so you will hear noise from neighbors; but none was disruptive to sleep or quiet time. I recommend this place highly if you want to stay for a little while, get to know the neighborhood, and travel easily to all areas of Paris. Two Metro stops are quite close; bus stops are almost directly outside the apartment front door!
