The apartment is a nice one bedroom in a really convenient part of the city.

It has a small refrigerator, toaster oven, electric kettle, and microwave. So, it is perfect to get you started at the beginning of the day with breakfast.

Our daughter found the fold out couch in the living room perfectly comfortable. My wife and I thought that the bed in the bedroom was extremely comfortable. It also helps that we were exhausted after full days of touring around the city.

In general, we found it clean and orderly. The wifi was easy to connect to, and the signal is plenty strong.

The apartment is on the top floor with nice, large windows. It was comfortable and bright in the mornings.

Another big plus was the hot water in the shower. It gets hot right away, and seems to be near endless. Three of us took showers in the morning, and the last one did not suffer through a cold shower.

The neighborhood is also very convenient for visitors. The street is quite, with a mix of wine bars, small galleries, and clothing stores.

The location is a few minutes from the Republique Metro stop, which is the perfect station to get anywhere very quickly. There are a number of lines that come through the station.

Also, it is right above the Marais area. A great place to explore on any Saturday, when the street vendors are out. The walk to Pompidou Centre is maybe 10 minutes.

Finally, Raphael is a great host. Easy to keep in touch with, and coordinate arrival and departure times. He knows the neighborhood really well and can tell you about good restaurants, local market, and the closest bakery.
