More about the apt...
The common space consists of a comfortable living cum dining area open on a breath-taking view of the city, and an open equipped kitchen. The unique point of the apartment is that the common living areas are on the first floor while the sleeping area is on the second floor along with the view of the city of Paris from both levels; a unique characteristic to find in Paris. It is also perfect, as it does not oblige everyone in the group to call it a night at the same time.
On entering the apartment (first floor), you will find the toilet on the left, a flight of stairs going up to the first floor and the entrance that opens into the living / dining and kitchen areas to the right.
