This apartment is a scenic, peaceful refuge within the beautiful yet busy city of Paris. To be right on the Seine and see sunrise, sunset, and all of the boats pass by is invaluable. The location is central to all of the main sites and yet it feels much like a private island when you are inside the apartment. There are blackout shades and comfortable beds to sleep. The kitchen was well stocked and there is a boulangerie for fresh bread a few minutes away by foot. The metro is maybe 12 minutes to walk to. The stairs were not an issue for us - really, once your bags are up, it is not too strenuous. We will not be able to stay anywhere else in Paris. It is truly a magical home with lovely hosts. Thank you!!!!
