The apartment is beautiful and light inside with three windows providing lots of light and ventilation. It is well decorated as per the photos. The kitchen is small but manageable- typically Parisian.
The apartment also has a lovely view to Sacré Coeur, particularly beautiful around sunset. I loved it!

The area is not touristy. There are many bars and cafes. I found a gluten free bakery and a another gluten free cafe both within 5 mins walk which was great. The street can be quite noisy, lots of sirens- possibly due to a hospital nearby. However, the windows are double glazed and keep the noise out well. The rear window can be left open for ventilation as there is far less noise coming from the rear of the apartment block.

I found the bed to be hard, but I think this is common in Paris. It was very nice to have a seperate bed and couch though!

I never met Stephané but he was available by text and responded to my messages and seemed friendly. His friend, Nathalie, greeted me on arrival and at departure and answered any questions that I had. She was lovely.

I recommend this to people who want a larger than normal apartment and want to stay in the area or near Le Marais and the Bastille.
