This review is for Sweet Inn Apartment #2 at 163 Boulevard Brune in the 14th. The space in the apartment was great. We had a large group and we were able to all find our own space. The location is close to a metro stop, tram stop and bus stop, making it easy to get around the city.
Communication and services from Sweet Inn were quite good. They had a nifty feature which allowed us to unlock the apartment using a mobile phone, which was handy when our group had split up and was returning to the apartment at different times.
We loved the neighborhood. Not at all touristy. We found a boulangerie across the street and I went there nearly every morning for coffee and pastry for the whole group.
Where the apartment falls short is in a lot of small areas. The furnishings are uncomfortable and feel very "budget." Some of the kitchen chairs were quite flimsy (one collapsed under my wife and no, she is not a large woman).
Although I'm sure the concrete floors are easy to clean and maintain, they don't make for a very warm or comfortable surface unless you're wearing shoes.
One of the bedrooms has shades that cover only the top half of the window. This is a problem, as that room looks directly onto a street. My son actually waved to a few people who stopped to look at him as we was lying in bed.
With a few strategic upgrades, this place could easily go from three to five stars.
