This is a wonderful flat in a terrific neighborhood - it is sunny, delightfully decorated with lots of vivid children's drawings and other creative touches. The photos don't do it justice. The penthouse terrace of this special flat wraps around two sides, where you can sit and dine, read, or just take in the neighborhood below. In warm weather it will be sublime. You can see the Les Invalides dome and the upper half of the Tour Eiffel from the balcony and upstairs windows.
Beatrice met us and spent time orienting us to all the workings and amenities in the apartment, which are many. She had anticipated needs we did not even know we had. A great host!
We are three adult sisters, and the space worked very well for us. It would also be ideal for a family, or perhaps two couples. There is a bathroom with shower on each floor and separate toilet on the main floor. The principal bedroom is upstairs and enclosed, with the secondary bedroom on that same upper level, but open to the living space below--each has a queen bed. The second bedroom provides visual but not auditory privacy, and one passes through its edge to get into the main bedroom. One of the sofas in the living room also folds out to a double bed. The upstairs beds are insanely comfortable. The sofa bed is a sofa bed. All the sheets are nice and a good variety of comfortable sleeping pillows.
The Bon Marché elegant department store with its sublime (and pricey) food hall is just two blocks away. Even closer you'll find high-quality bread bakeries, patisseries, fruit & veg shop, and dozens of little boutiques, stationery shops, restaurants. Beatrice provided a list of recommendations of places to eat and shop in the neighborhood.
