A charming apartment in a marvellous area. The apartment is of high standard and well equipped. Its quirky features (bath in the main bedroom, extra sleeping spaces in a high loft reached by ladder) add to its charms. My mother-in-law, who is 80+, found six flights of stairs with no elevator a bit of a challenge but younger or fitter guests will not have a problem with this. The area around the apartment was unknown to me before, but absolutely lovely. Excellent bakers, butchers, delis and restaurants along Rue Oberkampf. Do not miss the market selling excellent foodstuffs twice a week and holds a flea-market to be explored in the weekends.
Corinne was away when we arrived, but had arranged for a friend to meet us in the apartment and give us any introduction needed. All worked well, and I can strongly recommend the place to anyone who wants to have a break in this lovely part of Paris.
