"The location is excellent, both for exploring locally and central Paris via a short Metro ride. The apartment is light and bright and has a lovely view of the communal gardens. It’s also very quiet which I appreciated. I was a bit overwhelmed by the Check In communications at one point, particularly the automated messages, but the customer service staff are very helpful and do reply promptly if you have questions."

"I got into a routine with it but I’m an old lady and I can’t say that the evening/morning furniture removal needed to let down/put away the sofa bed were my favourite moments of the day! It’s fine, I’d happily come back for the reasons above - but it’s something to factor in, particularly if you are older, have a bad back or are going to be staying as a couple in such a compact space. I would personally put a hanging rail above the washing machine and add a few more kitchen utensils (including proper bowls) too. I also suggest checking personally with the Keynest collection shop what time they open on your departure day because it wasn’t very clear. But don’t panic! If you need to leave early you can make your own arrangements with Check In. It’s all good."

"Good clean room with basic facilities. Lively street life with plenty of restaurants about for breakfast and for dinner. Good metro Line 1 connection. A great place to base a visit to Paris. Friendly positive chat communication with owner / maintenance when I reported a broken light."

"Key collection is has several steps, and here are some tips: 1. A code number is made available through Checkmyguest 48 hours in advance of arrival - keep an eye on the Checkmyguest site to learn it. 2. The keys are to be collected and dropped off at a shop nearby, and the code is to be told to the shopkeeper to collect the keys. Note that the shop is open 8.30am to 10pm, but arrangements can be made outside of hours. 3. Note the apartment is on the ground floor (RC). The key lock is very stiff - keep trying - two or three turns of the key open the door."
