Apartment was EXACTLY as described — nothing less, nothing more. Fortunately, this worked well for us. Clean, in good condition. Excellent sound/noise protection from the street, other units, and between the bedrooms. Very quiet. Great shower water pressure, EXCELLENT air conditioning (important in hot Paris summer). Fantastic electronic black-out shades/curtains — great for adjusting time zone. Comfortable beds. First floor walkup, very manageable for luggage.
The immediate location is next to about countless African hair salons in every direction for a block, so unless you’re into that, you’ll have to walk a block beyond to find wonderful bistros, cocktail bars, grocery stores. #4 Metro immediately outside, and a 1-2 stops away from the East and North major train stations. Pleasant 15-20 min walk to the more interesting parts of the Marais.
Basic kitchen implements, basic appliances, and good induction stove, but you’ll need to buy your own condiments if you want to cook. No in-house laundry, but nearby laundromat which accepts credit cards. Internet was fast, occasionally spotty, but overall adequate.
Quite spacious for two people for a week (each with their own same-size large bedroom). Single bathroom may limit much larger groups, but suspect fine for a couple with kids. I would stay here again, as great cost/benefit profile overall.
