The apartment is lovely, with enough space for a couple or even a couple with a child. The furniture is new and it has all you need in the kitchen. It is very good to have the shower and the bathroom in two separated places (this speed up our mornings). You have restaurants, supermarkets, bakeries, wine houses, fruits to buy very close. And there are two or three subway stations in a short walking distances. The place is really quiet. However, it is possible to listen the subway noise, but this did not disturb us at all. The coffe machine was not working properly, but Lawrence replaced it the day after. The washing machine is wonderfull and help us a lot. Some streets around work until late, but somes places close during sundays. As we like to walk, some famous place like Louvre, Notre Dame and Pompidou Center take about 20 minutes to go. We strongly recommend this place to stay im Paris.
