We were delighted with Antoine's apartment. He was out of town when we arrived, but he'd arranged a welcome and a full frig for us. Very thoughtful!
The apartment is elegant, clean and bright, and about 5 minutes walk from Les Gobelins metro station which takes you everywhere. It has a real neighborhood feel, with a couple of boulangeries, a creperie and the marvelous Refuge de Passee restaurant within a few minutes of the apartment.
It's Paris, so the street can be noisy, but it seems a small price to pay for the real Parisien feel, the convenience and the understated elegance of the apartment.
