My partner and I stayed in Heide's lovely apartment for 4 weeks. It was the perfect home base for exploring the city. While at first concerned we might be too far out, we soon found it to be the perfect balance of proximity and distance. The #4 metro line is just a 5 minute walk away and runs right into downtown Paris. The street itself is quiet and has good bakeries, a grocery store, post office, all the necessary conveniences. The shops and area around nearby rue du Poteau were especially nice (check out Quatrehomme cheese shop!). The apartment itself was immaculate, well appointed and perfect for two. The bedroom itself was quiet, the bed comfortable and I loved the roll down shade that darkened the room. The kitchen had all the equipment we needed. Overall I'd say the pics posted online are very accurate. Although we unfortunately didn't get to meet Heide in person she was easy to communicate with and responsive. Overall we had a wonderful time in Paris and enjoyed our stay in Heide's home.
