I spent a month in Claudia's apartment with my wife. Probably the photos provided do not describe exactly the apartment, so let me add just a few words. The apartment has three main rooms, and can fit perfectly three persons, or two adults and two children. The entrance is in a very big room, which is in the same time kitchen, dining room and living room. The table is quite large, and could easily fit 10 persons (but there are only 5 chairs). This room has two large windows facing a small street. The bedroom has two more windows facing the same small street. In addition, there is a small room with a smaller bed and a table (we used it as an office space), with a window facing an internal court. Toilet and bathroom are separated. Appliances (oven, plate induction, washing machine, dishwasher) have been recently renewed and are very good.

Before staying in the apartment, we were quite worried by the potential noise. Indeed the apartment is located in a small street which connects two main roads, one of them with heavy traffic. After our stay we can say that the noise was *not* a problem. With all windows open one can hear *in the distance* the traffic in the big boulevard, but when windows are closed there is no problem, in particular during the night. In any case, the small room is absolutely quite, even when the window is open.

In conclusion, I recommend this apartment.

Pros:
- The apartment is large (if compared with apartments with similar prices and similar locations).
- The location, close to an important metro station and walking distance to many main attractions in Paris.
- The bed in the bedroom (160 cm, a rarity in Paris).
- The small room facing a quite internal court.
- The Tour Eiffel view from the window of the small room.
- Toilet room with window (a rarity in Paris).
- Wifi connection.
- The market near Bastille on Thursday and Sunday has probably the best value for money in Paris (worthwhile a visit, also for a street food lunch).

Cons:
- The apartment is located on the fourth floor without lift and with quite narrow stairs.
- This is Claudia's apartment when it is not located, so it is full with Claudia's stuff. Keep into account that there is only little space left in the wardrobes.
- No microwave (but the standard oven is quite good).
- Only basic TV channels can be viewed (but you do not stay in Paris to watch television, I suppose).
