What a wonderful place to stay in! Arthur is amazing with communication and ever so helpful with any questions you may have. The apartment is lovely! Clean and with such a homey feel! You are outside of the hustle and bustle but just minutes away from it. The bus station is right across the street from the apartment and the Metro is right behind the apartment. We had no problems with noise...neighbors in the building...we never heard them...and I know some of them had small children! Everything we needed was within walking distance...shops, restaurants, grocery stores, meat market, vegetable and fruit stands, bars....and pastries!! I can’t say enough about the pastry shops! I’m sure we gained a few pounds but no worries...walking around Paris to take everything in took care of those calories! What a beautiful city. I definitely recommend staying at Arthur’s! I know we will when we visit again! I can’t thank him enough for opening his home to us...what a pleasant stay on our first visit to Paris!
