Stellar home base for our 4-day stint in Paris. This location is unbeatable. The Arts et Metiers station is one block away; the area is bustling and full of cafes (go to Loustic!), bars, restaurants, shops, etc. (get croissants at Ernest & Valentin!). The apartment, though small, is beautifully appointed (gorgeously lit) and fully equipped with anything you could need (including a towel heater). Nicolas was extremely warm and welcoming. Wine, fruit, and juice were waiting for us upon our arrival. The only hiccup was that the stairway was unlit so coming home at night required a cell phone flashlight. Highly recommend this spot, for those spry enough to climb the 4 flights of stairs:)
