Our stay at 46 Rue Babylone was excellent. Our hosts, MiamMiam and Leo were at the apartment to personally check us in. They speak great English, which certainly makes the experience much more enjoyable. They spent quite s bit of time with us at check-in, explaining all the apartment workings. The dozen beautiful roses in the living room were certainly a nice touch. Next, they sat with us to provide many recommendations for places to eat. As they left, they asked if they could show us the neighborhood! We walked a few blocks to find the good grocery store, and went inside to review some of the shopping recommendations. A pretty excellent check-in process, for sure.
The apartment is located on Rue Babylone, just west of Rue Vaneau. A great neighborhood, easy walking to a Metro stop. Just a few blocks from Bon Marche, many local bistros, restaurants, and our soon to be favorite patisserie and cheese shop. Let’s not forget the boulangerie two doors down, which we visited every day for croissants, etc. Very easy walk to the Invalides and not too far to walk for great views of the Eiffel Tower.
The apartment itself was very comfortable, and quiet. Off the street courtyard, so no traffic noise. The bed was king size and very comfortable, the clothes washer worked fine, and did we mention the shower? The shower was great. Plenty big with several spray patterns and lots of hot water.
We would definitely stay there again and certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a one bedroom in a very nice location.
