We stayed in Annie's apartment for a week with our two small children (almost 2 and 4-1/2) and it served as a great home base. Annie provided a travel crib (pack n play) upon request and overall, although not child-proofed, the apartment was child-friendly. The kids could play in the well-sized living room and we cooked most of our meals at home. The kitchen is more serviceable than gourmet, but was adequate for making basics. There is also a dishwasher and laundry in-unit. The bathroom has a full-sized tub. The apartment gets lovely light and has a great view from the balcony. It's near a variety of restaurants and shops with a lively street scene, and is also within walking distance of three playgrounds. (Our kids' favorite playground was Parc Jean-Jaques-Olier on Rue Drolet.) It is a third-floor walk-up and there isn't much of a landing at the top, but our younger one could manage it with a bit of spotting. We easily found street parking on Duluth right below -- just pay attention to the signs for street cleaning (once a week), but we either walked or took the Metro everywhere. The metro is about a 5-7 minute walk and very easy to navigate. We also stored our stroller in our car since there wasn't a lot of room in the entryway of the building and it would've been a haul to drag it upstairs every time. Overall, we had a great time and would highly recommend staying here!
