The apartment is comfortable and has character. It is located on a less-busy side street, but the next streets over had shops and food. You must park a ways away at a bit of a cost, but that is understandable in a place as busy as Paris! It was pretty easy to temporarily stop on this street to drop off our things before going to park. The downstairs room is very cool. There is no toilet, so those staying down there must go upstairs to use it. The sink didn't drain almost at all, but Gregory took note when we told him as we were leaving. Gregory has been very thorough to include a book full of tips and suggestions of places to go to have fun and to eat, subway lines you could take to travel, instructions, etc. It was very handy and so thoughtful. We used the washer/dryer combo in the unit for a couple of loads. It left the clothes wrinkly, but that is no big deal. We slept wonderfully on the beds with no disturbances (but we were pretty worn out!). Gregory met with us as we were leaving and was very kind and thorough to ask for feedback. Overall it was a wonderful, comfortable place for the 4 of us to rest our heads at night!
