The apartment is fabulous. Plenty of room for luggage, storage for clothes (including loads of hangers) and places for other bits and pieces. The apartment is light and airy with fantastic windows downstairs and in the loft bedrooms. The view over the rooftops is charming! With the windows shut it is quiet and peaceful and perfect for sleeping in. The fridge, stove, microwave and washer are all like new and easy to use and clothes dried in the bathroom very quickly. The apartment is in a quiet area, although sirens from the nearby hospital do break in occasionally. Next door is a fresh fruit and veg shop, on the corner is "Le Petrin Normand" a fantastic patisserie, and buses go past every few minutes. It is also in between Metro lines 8 and 12 which will get you to heaps of Paris' top attractions easily. There are also lots of places to eat nearby and a market a couple of times a week. We stayed for 5 weeks and loved everything, as did our 10 year old daughter.
