The apartment was lovely! For our party of 8 adults, it was very spacious with the bedrooms and bathrooms nicely spread out for some privacy, yet the kitchen and living room both had ample space for the whole group. The apartment was clean and looks just like the pictures showed. It is located very close to St. Martin Canal for nice evening strolls, the metro République for access to the rest of Paris as well as many bakeries, restaurants and grocery stores. Lea was very nice and let us store our baggage in her apartment until check in time. She then brought them down for us and put them in the apartment. The street that the apartment is on, is not busy and the glass is double-pane so that you cannot hear very much noise from the street. Two of the bedrooms face onto an inside courtyard, which is very quiet. There is a dishwasher and a well stocked kitchen with a few staples for cooking. There was absolutely no problems from the time of booking until we had to leave. Thanks Lea...we really enjoyed our stay!
