My husband and I planned an 8 day 2nd Honeymoon in Paris for our third anniversary. During our first trip to France, we spent a few days in Paris and this time wanted to immerse ourselves in the city. Chantal’s place was a perfect location to travel throughout the city (located in between two Metro stops) and the local neighborhood had plentiful restaurants and shops.
We arrived on a Saturday and Chantal left us the key at a local café/brasserie steps from the apartment. She checked in with us to make sure we were able to get into the apartment. She kept in communication all week over text and helped out when necessary. She even stopped by one evening (with prior arrangement) to check in and make sure we knew all the local sights to see.
The apartment has two large rooms. The bedroom has a comfortable bed with plenty of storage for clothes and your luggage in the closet. The two sinks and the shower are located in the bedroom with a really nice washer and dryer in a separate closet. The main room has an open concept with a kitchen, a dining table, and a seating area. The cable and more importantly the WiFi worked great throughout the visit. Additionally, it has a private entrance directly to the street.
The location afforded us some great restaurants within walking distance (especially some vegetarian options for my husband). There is a Carrefour (local grocery store) within easy walking distance (about a block away) to stock up on essentials and local wine, cheese, and cafes all around. Additionally, the subway is right down the street within a block and a half to get you anywhere within the city.
All and all a great value for the money especially compared to the local hotels. Great for an extended stay in Paris and would definitely stay there again.
