Niragee was incredibly sweet and the apartment was very tastefully decorated. The chair in the living room is hands down of of the most comfy chairs I’ve ever sat in and the kitchen was very well equipped. The neighborhood that the apartment is in is rather like the Parisian version of Hells Kitchen in NY: on its way up and beginning to be inhabited by hipsters and trendy folk. That being said, there was definitely a right and wrong route from the apartment to the Metro- one way felt much safer than the other. The apartment faces all of the other apartments in the building which makes privacy a bit of an issue, but the bed was comfortable. The apartment is incredibly well laid out and makes brilliant use of storage and open space. The communication was great too! Lastly, I would say that the apartment is perfect for cool/cold weather. There is no AC and the layout makes it difficult for ventilation, so summer would be a bit brutal, but I’d imaging that it would be perfectly cozy in the winter time. Thanks so much for the lovely home base for our Parisian adventure!!
