This beautiful apartment had every amenity. The owners generously let guests have nearly full run of everything, including their books and guitar! There is no air conditioning and it is directly under the roof, so it takes some strategy to keep it bearable on a hot day, but it means the view is wonderful. There is also one flight of stairs to climb after the tiny elevator gets to the 5th floor. Location is on a very convenient avenue, with a supermarket literally next door and a bakery steps away. Place de la République is a comfortable walk. We opted to take taxis instead of the Metro because one of us had mobility issues, and it ended up being a long drive everywhere. I wish in the end we’d had a more central location, but this place would be a fantastic value for anyone able to use public transport.
