Melvin's place was exactly as stated. It is quite small for five people but we managed as we were out most of the day anyway. The location could not be more perfect - walking distance to Notre Dame, Pompidou Museum, The Louvre, and the Seine. It does get extremely hot as there is no AC and the fan is only downstairs - there is no electrical outlet in the loft area upstairs so the only way to get air throughout the apartment is to leave the windows open. But that means you'll get all the noise from the noisy city revelers on the street below. It's mostly fine unless you're a light sleeper. The beds are not the most comfortable - but again if you're just looking to be close to things and looking for a good value, this is a great place to book.
