We had a great time in this small apartment with a large living room.
First, the quirks:
The wireless internet didn't work, but the wired (CAT5 Ethernet cable) worked fine.
The bathroom is split into 2 - a toilet room and a sink/shower room. A shower curtain was provided, but there was no rod to hang it up. The door to the shower room is glass - lots of light - little privacy. Romantic getaway?
The kitchen is a hallway, but easy to use and well stocked. I loved the espresso machine.
There is no AC - we used the fans in May, but it might be hotter during the summer.
Overall, the apartment was clean, tidy, and well laid out. A few more doors for privacy would have been helpful.
The neighborhood was wonderfully lively. There are several great bakeries within a few blocks. There was almost no street noise despite the likely street life. The Les Halles metro stop was within 10 minutes walk was convenient for accessing nearly all of Paris.
This apartment was rented by a reseller, who provided adequate communication, but did not have specific details -- for example how to use the wireless internet (username/password).
Note: The TV was nicely sized and had a cable setup with a DVD player (but not for region 1 - US DVDs).
