The apartment was great for our weeklong family vacation to Paris. There was plenty of room for four people and it was especially nice having separate bedrooms, a living room (with a couch you can sleep on), a dining area, a washing machine, a full kitchen and access to Netflix. The building and neighborhood felt safe. The location was amazing--near three different metro lines and easy access to shops, restaurants, a large grocery store and shopping mall. We needed to make a last-minute change to come in one day early, and there was no problem. Communication with our hosts was quick and easy. We were even able to check-in a little earlier. You can not control the heat in the apartment because it is controlled by the building, but the temperature was comfortable inside even though it was very chilly outside. It was a great home away from home.
