We loved everything about this apartment - perfect location, walking distance from Paris Est and a metro within a few minutes walk. The apartment is located on a street full of cafes, restaurants and bars; right around the corner are amazing cheese and wine shops, fruit stands, butchers, great Indian and Turkish restaurants. We ended up eating dinner in "our" neighborhood every night, away from all the touristy places. We have two young children and the set up for this apartment could not be better - kids had plenty of stuff to keep them occupied and I particularly loved the decor and the overall use of space. Julien was overly accommodating and was easy to get in contact/communicate with. We are already planning our next visit to Paris and would love to stay at Julien's place again! We were there in the summer time and the street does get noisy in the evening, when it's nice out - but that did not bother us at all, as a matter of fact it was a perk for us, parents, to have a late night drink from one of the bars downstairs :) I would recommend this place to anyone in a heartbeat - it's charming and welcoming and everything I imagined a Parisian apartment to be. We did not want to leave. Thank you Julien!
