I adore this apartment! Françoise and her husband Patrick are the warmest, most wonderful hosts I could have asked for. I stayed for six months, and when there were a few issues with the shower/internet in the apartment, they were quick to come over and help, and did not give up until it was solved. The apartment is just as it looks: perfect space for one person. The sunlight in the morning is incredible, and the apartment is equipped with everything you could need (coffee maker, all kitchen supplies, laundry detergent, even cooking basics like olive oil and salt and sugar). The six flights of stairs are actually a plus in my opinion .... not only a good workout but also allows for the most incredible sunlight in the morning, and it feels more private as this is the only apartment on the sixth floor.

As far as the neighborhood goes, it is wonderful. Several grocery stores between 1-6 minute walk from the apartment (including three organic (bio, in French) shops). Only 15-20 min walk from the very popular Marais area (go to Rue Rosiers for falafel!)

In sum, this is an amazing place, and these hosts are amazing people! Highly recommended
