Ariane & and her staff were extremely welcoming and accommodating throughout our 2 week stay. The apartment is really lovely, full of light, amazing views, perfect location, clean, comfortable beds, quiet, friendly neighbors... In short, this apartment is perfect in every way! Right down the street from the Pompidou and a ten minute walk to the river and over to Notre Dame. Walk, bus or easy metro to everywhere. Apartment is located on top floor of historic building (modern elevator, but the winding, wooden staircase is worth at least a look and a photo!), with views of Paris rooftops, and even one of the Eiffel tower out the bedroom window. Three small balconies (one with a table/chairs) provide all day light through double doors (which seem to be sound proof). Sit on the couch or in the comfortable bar chairs in the kitchen area with a glass of wine and watch the light change right outside, and you'll begin to know why inspired artists came to live and paint in Paris. We loved everything about this apartment, and will definitely stay here again when we return. Convenient to markets around the corner, selling fresh breads and baked goods, cheeses, roasted chicken (delicious!), vegetables and side dishes, and French wine, you can easily eat at home and enjoy the ambience in this lovely Paris apartment!
