Self catering in Paris???

Going to Paris for a few days, and, while trawling through Laterooms hotels, I came accross a self catering studio apartment hotel sort of thing. Looked quite interesting. It is a cheap solution, but, more importantly it would imply a freedom to do as you like, sort of home from home. There were mixed reviews, however, and I just wondered if anyone had ever gone down this road, and what their impressions were. I've seen this kind of thing occasionally advertised for other cities as well. There are no hotel facilities of course, but for a few days sightseeing does that matter, as long as it's decent, and convenient?

    We've done this twice and will be doing it again next time we go to Paris. I personally found it the best option for Paris especially with kids. You can come and go as you please and whip up a quick meal if you don't fancy going out for dinner or are just too tired to go out. It is as you say a little home from home and ideal. You can get some great bargains which sweetens the deal even more :D

    So, defo SC apartments for us when we go on city breaks as we find hotels far to restrictive.
    I can say whatever I like here ... 'cos no one can see me .. ner ner ner ner ner !!!....
