Maybe the greatest apartment EVER? The apartment is absolutely gorgeous, and really spacious - so great for falling exhausted and jetlagged on the couch after a long day. The two bedrooms are separated by the entire apartment (but the main bathroom is an ensuite to the main bedroom) so noise disturbance is not a possibility. And a fifth floor apartment with an elevator is really rare, and I, for one, was very grateful.

Pierre and Gabrielle made me feel so comfortable. And they were kind enough to tell me about some cute restaurants in the close vicinity that were AMAZING (try the pizza place for sure).

And the neighbourhood! I have stayed in Paris many times and hate to be so close to the touristy stuff, but I loved how central this was without feeling touristy at all. A nice walking distance from the Marais, and across the street from metro Parmentier. Tons of restaurants and shops right there on Oberkampf.

My only hope is that it will be available for every future stay I have in Paris... fingers crossed!
