I stayed here for the last 4 nights of my 22-night trip around Europe. The location is about 1km walk from Gare de Lyon. It was a tough distance to walk while rolling a suitcase. However, RER1 (and 4) stops at Gare de Lyon, so it is a direct line to Disneyland Paris. You can also transfer to RER2 at Shattret station, one stop away, to Charles de Gaulle Airport and Gare de Nord, where trains arrive from Europe north of Paris. The 1st and 2nd platforms are opposite each other, so it was very easy to transfer.
There is a supermarket next door (Lidi), but the selection is not that good, and the opening hours are short, from 9am to 8:30pm, so I often used Monoprix (open until 11pm) near Place de la Bastille, one stop away.
The facilities are clean, but there are no knives in the room (even though there is a cutting board!) so it was a great idea to bring one with me.
The stove and the pots provided were convenient for cooking.
There was only a shower, no bathtub. But even though it was an apartment hotel, cleaning was done every day. I was grateful for that.
The receptionists were all black, but they were very friendly and polite.
They kindly lent me a scale to check the weight of my suitcase before my return flight, and came to my room to help me when I couldn't unlock the stove.
There seems to be a breakfast venue, but I didn't use it.
But they bake bread from 4am, and it looked delicious.
I think it's also a big plus that you can get as much water as you want from the water purifier in the lobby.
I had a fun stay.

The studio room was spacious for two and the kitchen was sufficient to cook simple breakfast meals. Room cleaning was done well, feedback here is for house keeping to check the soap liquids and refill as we had to make housekeeping calls to refill hand wash and body wash. We had a long stay and noticed they don’t change the sheets at each cleaning, only sometimes. If they are keeping eco, would be great to have a note for guest to indicate which days the sheets should be changed so the days are averaged out. Guests have access to washer and dryer in lobby but need to download app to pay and use.
