This place is fantastic. The apartment is located in a hip, vibrant neighborhood. It is very diverse and bustling place that has multiple parks, playgrounds, cafes, shops, and space for people to linger on the edge of the canal to simply enjoy being outside. This is not a space for high paced, three day sight seeing your (although it’s a quick ride to all the Paris sites- you can get to the Eiffel Tour in 20 min) This is a space for a week long stay to appreciate Paris and realize her authentic beauty.
The apartment is located in a neighborhood that provides easy access to all of the main attractions of Paris (it’s a 5 minute walk to major subway line) while letting you experience Paris outside of the insane tourist craze. It is within blocks of several grocery stores, bakeries, butchers, etc. It is a 10 minute walk to an absolutely beautiful walking park and 10 minutes to the largest park in Paris that is overwhelming full of attractions. I traveled here with three small children (6 and under) and we had plenty of space, easy access to attractions, and the ability to not feel trampled or overwhelmed.
The host was very responsive but not intrusive. Highly, highly recommended.
