This apartment is sunny, cheerful and stylishly furnished, with a steep ladder up to loft bedroom and a sense of spaciousness for what is still a one bedroom place. It is located in the "Asian neighborhood" of Paris so there are great options for eating Vietnamese, Laotian and Chinese food all over. It is also convenient to the metro and the new line 14, with very direct connections to central Paris. Laurence met us when we arrived and gave us valuable insights into everything from how the kitchen works to how to make it safely down the ladder stairway. It is on what Americans would call the 3rd floor with two flights of steep winding stairs, so while this provides good views and sunshine, it is not appropriate to someone unwilling to struggle up and down those stairs. But for Parisian charm and a distinctive, worldly aesthetic, it is quite lovely.
