I'm writing this review from the perspective of a seventy-plus year old American. The apartment was decorated with style and panache. Young Europeans would certainly find it very appealing and even "cool." It looks like a loft that was reconfigured into living space with 3 large windows facing the street. The 2 bedrooms are in the rear, side-by-side separated by a wall. There is little privacy. Light from glass and metal doors and a skylight, provide some light to the bedrooms. The kitchen was well equipped and contemporary with quality appliances all in working order, although minus a microwave. We were unfamiliar with an induction cooktop and since it was self check-in, we had to refer to maintenance manuals for instructions. Tim & Marie provided more basic necessities than we expected which was very considerate. The street is quiet but is not without it's collection of trash which is true for many streets in the area. The building is also not well maintained and the stairway to the first floor could be a challenge for some. The location is very convenient to grocery stores, bakeries and rue Notre Dame with restaurants and cafes. We parked our car in a nearby garage which was a 10-minute walk, although there is free parking on the street when available. We appreciated the walk-in shower and the 2 fans which helped us survive the oppressive heat we experienced in September. Tim told us it was a record breaker. We still had a wonderful vacation heat and all!
