Less than 4 minutes walk from Strausburg - Saint Denis metro station, we found this a perfect home base for our time in Paris. Very convenient location; we walked all over Paris from here. Even though it's on a bigger street, the unit is tucked away from the street noise. However, the climb up to the 5th floor where the apartment is located may be a challenge for anyone struggling with stairs (no elevator) or lots of luggage.
We had a minor hiccup during check-in with timing, however Sophie responded to us right away, and we were able to wait at a bakery across the street until the apartment was ready a few minutes later. We were immediately charmed by the apartment, which is small but very well designed and cozy. The space is well utilized with every comfort in mind. We took full advantage of the well equipped kitchen, bringing home lots of cheese, charcuterie, bread, and wine. The stemware and plates are even nicer than the ones I have at home! There were even reusable food storage containers and disposable cups and knives, perfect for a picnic. We used the dishwasher and laundry, which both had soap provided to us.
The bedroom is small but equipped with a little sitting nook for laptop space. The mattress was a bit soft for our tastes, but the bedding was very soft and comfortable. Built-in closet space amply stored our luggage and clothing. The exposed beams were stylish and cute. There's clearly lots of detail and thought put in to every inch of the apartment. If you can handle the stairs, I highly recommend staying here. You truly feel like you are staying in Paris with the stylish and charming design, but you have every convenience of home with all of the amenities. Will be recommending this apartment to all of our friends and family who visit Paris in the future.
