If you want to live like a stylish local, this is the place. Beautifully equipped, with a chic bathroom including a towel warmer, a small kitchen with a Bosch mini clothes washer, Nespresso machine, small fridge, plus kitchen pots, pans, dishes, glasses, silverware etc. Lots of fluffy towels in the linen closet and a very comfy bed framed by huge classic Parisian windows that open to the street one floor below.
The apartment is in the bustling, friendly neighborhood of Marais. Across the street from a gallery, upstairs from an excellent pasta shop, and just around the corner from so many cafes.
We walked nearly everywhere - the few times we wanted a rest, we used the efficient metro system. Trains arrive/depart within a few minutes of each other. The apartment is close to several neighborhood markets, really just about anything is nearby.
Walking - head west and cut in a few blocks for endless shopping and cafes. Walking south just a few blocks will lead you (past more cafes and neighborhood galleries) to the Seine, which will lead you to everything. Continue due south across the bridges to the Left Bank and islands. Just to the east is the Place des Vosges - lovely park surrounded by (more) cute cafes. Within a block of the unit is a lovely square full of dueling cafes perfect for people watching.
Check in / check out was very easy. Can't wait to be lucky enough to return.
Thank you for your lovely hospitality Nathalie!
