Stéphanie is a wonderful host!
Michael and I enjoyed our stay in her lovely and comfortable apartment. It truly is airy and luminous and even nicer than advertised.
The Champagne and “la Praluline” (a brioche studded with praline, a local delicacy you must try, even if you don’t get to stay here) she left for us were a wonderful surprise and delicious treats.
The kitchen was one of the best equipped we have found in AirBnB rentals. We enjoy shopping in street markets and it was especially nice to be able to prepare the edible treasures we found. And I made good and frequent use of the red Nespresso machine!
We stayed for three weeks, so finding a wardrobe and hangers and empty drawers and shelves was really helpful. Good lighting and several good-sized mirrors was an unusual plus.
(Almost forgot the elevator—contemporary, well-functioning, big enough for two with luggage!)
The location is perfect for getting around in Paris. The M8 metro line is a few steps away, and numerous bus lines have stops at the Ecole Militaire roundabout.
Rue Cler is across the street. Cafes and restaurants where you can be served inside or streetside abound, along with butchers, poissoniers, vegetable markets, epiciers, patisserie-boulongeries, and other shops and services. (There’s a shoe store that has the best price I’ve ever seen on Mephistos!)
On Motte-Picquet, there’s a supermarket, dry cleaner, cafes, and more than I have time to write about—you’ll have to find out for yourselves!
Trust me, this apartment is in one of the best locations and deals in Paris.
