The apartment is a spacious 1 bedroom with a large fold out couch in the living room area. It features a huge dining room table as well. The kitchen is galley style with modern appliances. The laundry and dishwasher are useful and work well. Like most places in Paris, it's not air conditioned so we found it warm. You can manage the temperature during hot weather by closing the shutters during the day. We found the street level noise quite surprising. We are used to a quiet night in our small Canadian city. But this is Paris, and we knew full well to expect and understand that it would seem noisy to us. With our small children, it was a bit of an issue for us. But our kids adjusted and were so exhausted from site seeing that they slept through it all. There are several cafes nearby and the lively locals were out. They do seem to close up at around midnight. The local market and shops were incredible. We enjoyed a different boulangerie every day we were there. We dealt with a friend of Vincent's as he was away on holiday. His friend was friendly and helpful. We had no issues with checking in or out.
