This is a beautiful apartment, in a quieter, more residential arrondissement. The apartment is as seen in the photos- beautiful spaces, and lots of room. The apartment has 3 levels, with only the entrance on the first level, then kitchen, dining room, bedroom and bathrooms on the second level. The third level is a lovely, open living room with walk out to a pretty, and large for Paris, outdoor space. The loft area that you can see in photos is locked off- which is no problem, as there was plenty of space.
I really like the neighbourhood. Lots of restaurants, groceries, and shops. There is a market right outside the door on certain days. It’s about a 20-25mins metro ride to most major sites. We walked to the Eiffel Tower the first night (maybe 25 mins). The nearest metro stop is about a 5 mins walk away. It still feels very Parisian- to be clear, it’s not a suburb…it’s still right in the city. I really liked being away from the heavy tourist areas in the evening, but my husband would have preferred to have been in the action a bit more. It’s personal preference.
Check in and check out was easy. Contrary to info that the management company sends prior to arriving, you will find out that you don’t need to meet anyone, but will be given an entry code. It all worked out well, and was easy.
On a whole, a wonderful stay in a beautiful apartment in Paris.
