This apartment had lots of personality and was in a great location! The living room was beautiful and had old French architectural details on the ceiling. The old, original wooden floors creaked a lot but were absolutely beautiful. Everything you could possibly need was within a short walking distance. Lots of great restaurants, patisseries, convenience stores, a pharmacie and even a bookstore! Plus, the Metro was around the corner. The apartment had plenty of space for 5 people and we never felt cramped. All the appliances were modern. We had a bit of trouble with the washer, but Mercedes sent a repairman over quickly. Turns out there was a short in the wiring that was eventually resolved. There were a few quirks with an old building such as a tiny elevator and a musty smell, but that's part of the French charm. Building security was amazing and we felt completely safe. My only suggestion for the apartment owner would be to provide a few more bathroom and laundry supplies. Overall, we had a fantastic week in Paris and I highly recommend this apartment!
