Our family of 5 stayed at Mathieu's place June 24-28, 2017. The flat was exactly as advertised. The building is very old but the flat has recently been renovated. Paint is fresh, parisian decor and furniture - stylish and brand new. At first the furniture felt a little cluttered with so many of us there but we moved a few things around and it worked well. The 5th floor flat itself consisted of an entryway where there is a nice console table with a plug under it - this is the best place to charge your devices as most of the other plugs are in use by lamps or electronics. Off the entryway to the left is the kitchen. Small and a bit dated but efficient and fairly well stocked with utensils and dishes. To the right of the entryway is the main living area. Here you have a sofa that converts to a bed, a large screen TV, a couple of chairs and a fairly large dining table. The living area connects to the first bedroom with a quaint fireplace and desk area. A balcony with floor to ceiling doors spans from the living area to the first bedroom. You'll have a lovely view and cool breezes with the doors open. The balcony has some lovely decorations and a small table for two where we had morning coffee and a candlelit glass (or 3) of wine in the evening after a long day of touring. Down the hall is the bath/shower room, then the toilet and then the second bedroom. At first the arrangement of the "facilities" seemed odd but it actually worked well for the five of us - we could make use of both facilities at once, which sped up our morning routine. The hot water is the shower is hit or miss but it wasn't a huge bother. I will note that the tub/shower is fiberglass and is also quite a step up and down. It can be quite slippery so if you have someone with limited mobility, bring an anti-slip mat. The second bedroom is small but functional. It has a lovely window overlooking the courtyard, a european sized double bed, dresser, large desk/workspace and TV. The flat came with plenty of fresh and fluffy towels, pillows, shower gel, paper towels, toilet paper, etc. The tube station is an easy walk. (We used Uber since we had an older person in our party that had difficulty with stairs.) There is a Franprix grocery at the end of the block - convenient and affordable provisions. There is also a cafe on the other end of the block - average food but a good place if you just want coffee or a snack. Communication was a breeze. We simply texted Mathieu when we arrived and his housekeeper met us and got us situated. We had a bit of an issue logging onto the wifi and Mathieu literally texted me back in 5 minutes (the password listed in...
