Christine's apartment is comfortable and totally convenient for a stay in Paris. Christine lives next door, and besides a warm welcome, is there to give any help or advice you may need. The flat is on 2nd floor (UK), so there are 4 flights of stairs. We didn't find this a problem, even on arrival lugging suitcases, but others might. The apartment itself was spotless, light and airy, and well heated for the rather chilly weather we had in April. There is no shortage of excellent restaurants in the area, and we were rather spoilt for choice of good boulangeries for breakfast croissants. We only ate breakfasts and lunches in the apartment, going out to dinner every evening, but the facilities in the apartment are adequate for cooking simple meals. The location is practically across the road from the Pompidou Centre, but because the apartment faces the sunny and private courtyard, there was no noise at all at night. This is really important for us as we live in the country and are sensitive to loud traffic noise. The proximity to Rue Reynard though meant that we were able to pick up a taxi to the airport in about 30 paces from the building. If exploring Paris is what you want to do, this apartment is perfect!
