We stayed in this apartment for a week in February 2014. Claire was very accommodating, meeting us in the morning so we could drop off our luggage early. The water heater was broken upon our arrival, but Claire got it fixed within a day and even opened up her own shower for our use in the meantime.

The location of the apartment was very convenient for us. It's very close to both Bastille and Saint-Paul Métro stations. In addition, there are many stores on Rue St Antoine, including a Monoprix about 5 mins walk away. Definitely no problems getting anything you need.

The washroom is small but usable, as others have mentioned, it's not particularly private so anything going on inside will be heard by anyone else in the apartment.

No problems with the sleeping area - we knew it was a loft from the pictures and didn't find the climb up to the bed annoying or difficult.

Kitchen was basic but we didn't do any cooking so it wasn't an issue for us. There was a kettle for morning coffee or tea, which was sufficient for our needs.

Overall, it was a pleasant stay and we would definitely consider staying there again the next time we are in Paris.
