Overall this property met our needs well. The location is great — love the 16th, metro practically at the doorstep, a small grocery just a couple doors down and a larger one just a couple of blocks away, walk to the Seine and many sights. Loved all that. The place is light and airy with high ceilings, bath/kitchen nicely updated. Very atmospheric decor. Manager responded quickly to our questions. As the listing warns, it is on the sixth floor with no elevator and the last flight is very steep. The kitchen has the basicis but is rather disorganized - dishes, pots and pans, etc. all shoved together pretty haphazardly. No automatic coffee maker (just a traditional brew-your-own expresso pot for the stove) which is a pain. There were no basic instructions for the appliances (we had to rummage in a cupboard and find instruction books and/or search for a pdf manual on the internet). A brief notebook with the basics would have been nice to know how to bake vs microwave, do laundry, etc. We did do laundry which took hours (probably operator error). The bed was good, but wish there were extra pillowcases for the extra pillows and the only duvet was very heavy for summer. It would have been nice to have more than 2 towels. Several of the lamps were without bulbs and there were no working lights in the office area. The balcony was not cleaned or swept. The chaise was the only seating and the cushion was soaked from the rains. Overall a good stay.
