The apartment is very large for Parisian standards and it has a lot of windows which is really nice. It has a full kitchen which is nicely equipped; the beautiful Limoge coffee cups were my favorite! The heating for the apartment and for the water works great. It is superbly located, very close to metro and bus stops. You are a 3-minute walk to an exellent boulangerie where you can get your bread and/or croissants for breakfast, as well as great sandwhiches for lunch. You are a 5-minute walk to great bars, cafés, and restaurants; to a small Carrefour, and to a great frommagerie with an incredible variety of cheeses and butter. And a 20-minute walk to Place d'Italie. I stayed there for three weeks and I was very pleased.
