My two best friends and I recently stayed six nights in this lovely apartment in Paris’s 9th. It was very spacious and we each loved having our own bedrooms and private space to crash at the end of our long days of sightseeing. The living room was very roomy yet cozy enough to sit and chat over coffee or wine and champagne. We enjoyed looking out the windows and standing on our private balcony to watch the street scene below. We even saw a man pushing a cart and ringing a bell as he walked down the street. Though we didn’t know why, it seemed very quaint and old world Parisian to us. The dining room was also quite large and we enjoyed sitting around the table chatting and eating our goodies from the bakery/pastry shop right across the street. Of course, the tasty French wine we purchased just down the street was a great accompaniment. We found the kitchen well stocked and easy to use and we loved the view to the courtyard of the building. I personally enjoyed the deep bathtub which was very relaxing for tired legs while my friends preferred the shower. Both had great water pressure and hot water. Having toiletries in the bathroom was a nice touch.
The building itself was beautiful with its curved staircase and charming elevator that held three adults snuggly, but it was much appreciated. There is only one apartment per floor which makes for a quiet atmosphere. I’m very noise sensitive and can honestly say that I was not bothered by any neighbors’ noise.
The apartment is in the lively St. George District Bear Montmartre and Pigalle. There are many great shops, bars, and restaurants to choose from. We had an excellent meal at a cozy French restaurant literally right next door, highly recommend.
Our stay at this beautiful apartment was the perfect place to celebrate our 60th birthdays and our 50-year friendship. Thank you, Christian, for your part in making our trip so very memorable.
I highly recommend this wonderful apartment. 5 stars! We will be back.
