We had a truly wonderful stay during mid-term with our 2 kids. Alexandra was incredibly helpful and the fact that we were able to drop our luggage off before check-in allowed us to explore Paris as soon as we arrived. The location of the apartment is fantastic, easy walking distance to so many landmark sites. The apartment has everything you need and the beds are really comfortable. Yes, the shower is small but it's serviceable and does the job. The decor is a little tired in places, but is very clean. I'd read other reviews suggesting that it could get noisy at night. This was true, so I was glad that I'd packed earplugs for us all - they worked a treat. We loved that it was spacious, much more room than other apartments we had looked at. The boulangerie across the road is fantastic - I don't think we will ever want to eat a croissant from anywhere else ever again. Really enjoyed staying here.
