Fantastic Find 10 minutes from Eiffel Tower
This open concept apartment was a delight we thoroughly enjoyed. Vincent, the owner who lives 1 floor above, met us and explained everything and gave us 4 keys, one for each of us with an Eiffel Tower key fob for us to keep. He had 4 sets of matching towels laid out with a bath towel, hand towel, face towel and a soaping mitt with shampoo & body wash bottles for each of us. I’d asked about coffee and he stocked the cabinet with plenty of coffee for us. The large fridge and freezer made it easy to shop at Monoprix or Carfourre. There were a couple of boulongeries in the neighbourhood which were very handy for breakfast or to bring 'home'.
The apartment was clean and very modern in style and function with an oven, cooktop, microwave, Tissomo coffee maker, rain and regular shower heads, ‘mood lighting’ in the bathroom, motorised security screens, large TV (but only French channels except for news stations... but if you enter your own Netflix code can access) and nice stereo system, nice bedding for our large bed in the bedroom and our teens shared the pullout couch. For the money it was a real value.
1/4 block to the nearest metro line, 2 quick bite restaurants just outside the door and a fine restaurant we went to for a nice French meal Vincent recommended about 4 blocks away. A short 10 minute walk to Champs de Mars and Eiffel Tower.
If you plan to go to Notre Dam or Secle Cur you’ll need to take the Metro or a taxi from the end of the block unless, like us, you don’t mind walking 40 minutes to Notre Dame. The taxi to Secle Cur from the end of the block was 22 Euros for the 4 of us and 12 Euros to Notre Dame, 16.5 Euros to Gare de Lyons station.
