I stayed at this apartment for 10 nights in February 2015 with my 11-month-old daughter, a friend, and our nanny.

The owner, Colin, is very amiable and considerate. A friend of his let us in the apartment to give us the keys and show us how to use appliances and Colin came later that evening and answered the questions we had for him. He was available for us by WhatsApp text or phone during the rest of the visit.

The apartment is spacious and light. Lovely skylights which can be covered in the bedrooms at night to keep out light and cold.

The apartment was very clean, beds and chairs were comfortable and the amenities functioned well. Artwork and light fixtures and light bulbs are unique and interesting.

My daughter enjoyed crawling around and looking at herself in the large mirror in the living room. The only drawback was the smell of smoke which, in our opinion, permeated each room and lingered on our clothes even when we returned home to the States.

It was cold in Paris when we visited and we used the radiant heat each day. Radiators worked perfectly. Colin requests that guests pay for their electricity usage and we spent around 100 Euro on electricity.

The location is convenient: a block's walk to the number 4 metro and a supermarket/department store. We were able to rent a stroller and high chair from "2 Kids 1 bag" which were delivered to the apartment.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay but the smell of smoke would prevent us from choosing this apartment again.
