Truly wonderful apartment for exploring all that Paris has to offer. We just got back from a 3-night stay in this apartment and it was perfect for our family's needs (2 parents, 1 teen). The apartment is within a mile of major tourist sites (the Louvre, La Sainte Chapelle and la Conciergerie, the Marais, and major Paris department stores like Galleries Lafayette). It's within blocks of 3 metro stations if you're tired out and there are some nice restaurants as well as a supermarket and plenty of bakeries and artisan food shops of all types within just a couple of blocks. Patrick and Nathalie are super hosts - they communicated promptly and warmly and offered many helpful suggestions. They really made us feel at home. The apartment is on a quiet street, on the ground floor. But there was next to no street noise, despite being located in a bustling area of Paris. The apartment amenities were very nice - nice bedroom, a living room with sofa bed, kitchen with fridge, oven, and microwave, stylish bathroom, and a combo washer-dryer (a highly energy efficient appliance that takes some getting used to for Americans, as the cycle times are longer than what we are used to, particularly for drying clothes). We hope to return soon.
