My wife, my daughter and I stayed in William’s apartment in Rue Charlot during the summer of 2018 right during the World Cup. Our stay was absolutely fantastic and surpassed our expectations in every way.
The apartment was spotless clean for our arrival. It is small but very functional and accommodated well the three of us. The kitchen is very compact but well furnished; we didn’t miss anything. Angela, the lady in charge of the apartment, was absolutely sweet and welcoming, she even helped my wife call a cab when she had problems with her credit card and couldn’t call Uber. We also met by chance the building manager and his wife (who live on the first floor by the main entrance) and they are both very kind.
The directions William left us concerning the apartment as well as his tips on where to go were spot on. We couldn’t have asked for a better location, just around the corner from excellent cafes, restaurants (most open till mid-night), grocery shops, and boulangeries. Let me say that both Cafe Charlot and Cafe du Marche des Enfants Rouges are excellent. The Marche des Enfants Rouges is also very worth a visit. The apartment sits at a walking distance from the Center Pompidou, Las Halles, the Notre Dame, and a gamut of shops, art galleries, museums, and metro stations.
Overall, it was a pleasure dealing with William and staying at his place in Paris. We had a blast and would love to do it again sometime in the future.
