First of all, description was 100% accurate. Yes, the flat is on the 3 floor of the building. Luckily we travel light. Just a backpack and a carry-on luggage per person. So, it was manageable for 4 of us (the youngest member was 12 years old).
Tomas provide details check-in communication. Not only that, he also provided 2 intro video about some of the details about the items in the flat. Also, since I know we will be in a heat wave when we are in Paris in early Aug, I asked Tomas if he will have fans for us. He was kind enough to supplied 2 fans...which is tremendous for us during our stay.
As most Paris flat or apartment, the floor space is tight. So, we found ways to keep our luggage in the unit and still make sure the sofa bed is open at all time.
We love that the kitchen is very well equipped. Able to make some quick meals. The laundry machine was helpful as we packed light, so we were doing laundry daily and the drying rank was great for us to have the washed clothes hang dry during the night while we are asleep.
The flat is very easy access with metro 12 and getting off at Marx Dormoy. The entrance of the gate for the different building is just next door to McDonald.
We particularly love the bakery (Délices et Plaisirs) at the end of the block. Visited the bakery every day except when they are closed on Tue and Wed (too bad, we did not stock up).
Also, around the corner from the bakery, they are several good Asians restaurants (Panda hand-pulled noodle, Face a Face, New Thai San, etc.). Many grocery places across, around the block.
Since the metro cost is the same (€1.90) wherever you go. Finding a place just at the entrance of a metro station and bus stop was a perfect find for us.
