The apartment is located in the basement at the rear of the building which makes it quiet and cool in summer. We have stayed in some sweltering attic apartments in Paris previously so this was a real bonus. The location is great for an early departure on the Eurostar, although the area immediately around the station is a bit sketchy and our kids felt quite nervous. There are heaps of great looking restaurants around. The beds are very comfortable and we slept well. The kitchen is small but fine for basic meals. There is a full sized fridge and washing machine. Like many Airbnb's this apartment had a lived in feeling as drawers were full of stuff and there were leftover curries in the fridge. Not a problem for us, just something we noticed. As the apartment is in the basement it's fine as a base for exploring Paris but not really a space you want to hang out in as there are no windows in the downstairs area. Overall we had a comfortable stay and appreciated the convenience of being close to the station. Alex was a very helpful and communicative host.
