We stayed at Nicola's house for 2 days and a half but we did not spend much time in the apartment because we were visiting the city all days. The bed at the top was a good thing for Susana (11 years old) who enjoyed a lot sleeping there. We cooked dinner at the house every day and all worked well. Nicolas, the host, was so nice with us, always in touch just for being there when we arrived. There were a couple things that could have been better: pillows, the big window and the curtains (too much light) and better kitchen cleaning; but I'm sure Nicolas is working out on it. Paris is a beautiful city and we definitely will be back.
