This is a very nice place on the whole. Wonderful to have a comfortable full-size bed in its own alcove. This place is really a bit more than a studio, due to the alcove, which is separated from the main living area. Very well equipped. You don't feel like you're living with someone else's old stuff - it was designed to be rented. Everything you need is there. Clean, modern, light. Vincent is a lovely host willing to go the extra mile. Drawbacks have less to do with the space itself and more with its location. It's on the first (ie 2nd US) floor, which is good because not too many stairs, but it makes the street noise more present. The building itself is quiet but the street noise can be significant - traffic, construction, etc. Close the double-paned windows and the noise is significantly reduced. Ask for the air conditioner in the summer. Everything in the unit works well. Given that it's a small space it's very well designed and laid out. The other drawback is the location, a bit far from central Paris, but 5 minutes from the newest, *very* fast metro line 14 that gets you downtown quickly. I also sometimes walked 15 minutes to get to another metro line (Nationale station on line 6) - check this out if you're going to certain left bank locations (south of Seine).
En francais: Vincent est charmant, il fera tout pour que votre sejour se passe le mieux possible. L'appartement est tres tres bien equippé et aménagé, on n'a pas l'impression de vivre entouré des vieux trucs de quelqu'un d'autre. C'est vraiment bien fait. C'est mieux qu'un studio parce qu'il y a un petit alcove a part pour le lit. L'immeuble est calme mais par contre il y a pas mal de bruit de la rue (circulation, construction, etc). Au premier etage, on l'entend. Il y a le double-vitrage qui aide beaucoup mais en ete il faut utiliser la clim mobile, ce qui exige qu'on laisse le fenetre un peu ouvert. J'ai bien apprecié le lit a 2 places tres confortable. Le seul inconvenient c'est que le quartier est un peu loin du centre de Paris, mais le metro 14 - tres rapide - est a 5 minutes a pied, et le metro 6 a 15 minutes a pied. Je vous recommande cet appartement sans hesitation.
