You will be pleasantly surprised when you stay here. The apartment is roomy, quiet, located on the street level, and offers you everything you need for a fantastic vacation/stay in Paris. The location is also excellent and within minutes walk to various grocery stores, bakeries, cafes, metro stations, post office, and yet is in a residential area away from the tourist crowds.
We made the apartment our home base for 30 days, from the middle of May to the middle of June, while we vacationed in Paris, Annecy and Lyon. We were thrilled to find the apartment matched what was shown and described on the AirB&B website. It was spacious, and the appliances worked well and were appreciated. The fact that there is a separate water closet/toilet and sink area from the shower and sink area in the bedroom was very useful when we were both getting ready in the morning. The apartment is very quiet and the queen size bed and large bedroom with plenty of closet and storage space were very comfortable. We slept great each night after a big day of enjoying and immersing ourselves in Paris. There isn’t an air conditioner which concerned us, however, we found we didn’t need it even during the portion of our stay in June when the temperature was a little warmer. The structure/construction seems to keep the apartment cool, and, if needed, there is a heater.
The apartment is in a great location, safe and convenient. We were easily able to reach everywhere we wanted to visit within walking distance or with easy access to metro or train stations. Montmartre is nearby and we visited that beautiful area several times. It is where we embraced and celebrated our love for each other for over fifty years by hanging our love lock on the fence overlooking the beautiful city of Paris and being watched over by the lovely Basilica of Sacre Coeur. We enjoyed all the usual tourist attractions in Paris, plus being able to attend the Roland Garros French Open, and we traveled to Monet’s home in Giverny, the Palace of Versailles, and the cities of Annecy and Lyon. We always felt a warm welcome upon our return to the apartment either each night or a few days later.
The host met us at the apartment upon our arrival to answer any questions we may have had and were easily accessible if we needed anything, which we didn’t.
The Gare du Nord train station is a half mile away from the apartment and is easy to reach traveling just two main streets from the apartment. We had quite a bit of luggage but didn’t have any problem on an early Sunday morning walking to the train station and then catching the train to the Charles De Gaulle Airport. Our biggest difficulty was saying au revoir to the apartment and Paris having made such fantastic memories, and you no doubt will too if you choose to make the apartment your home away from home.
A huge merci beaucoup to Bruno for the hospitality and giving us the opportunity to make more wonderful memories. Jon and Susan.
