My brother and I were thoroughly happy with the apartment. The living room and bedroom were quiet (dead quiet), with four double-pane windows in the front and back. The apartment was very sunny and bright. The mattress in the bedroom was perfect, one of the best that I have slept on. The sofa pull-out bed in the living room was very high quality and the mattress was also very comfortable. We stayed for two weeks, so the dishwasher and clothes washer/dryer were very appreciated. The apartment was well provisioned with towels, soaps, paper towels, dishwasher tablets, etc. The neighborhood was perfect. Quiet, upscale, residential, safe, and with many shops, bakeries, and restaurants. Thankfully, it is not a tourist area, so we could stroll around with the local residents. Although the neighborhood is quiet, it is very close (4 minute walk) to the Massena metro station, so the entire city was our own. A farmers market on Saturday at Rue Bossuet and Rue Tete d'Or was delightful. Many great morning cafes for coffee. Rue Ney was a 5 minute walk with many, many wonderful restaurants at reasonable prices. I hope that I can stay at Brigitte's place again in the future.
