Highly recommend this little stay. Very comfortable rennovated apartment in a very old building. Quick access to grocery stores, cafes, restaurants, metro, and the Trocadéro view of the Eiffel tower. Would very much recommend for anyone’s first stay in Paris.
The apartment is very well cared for, and much thought and consideration is put in for the guest. In such an old building, so it is a relief to have everything working properly. I lived in Paris for some time and it is common for things to not be fully functional. But this is not the case here. Owner has taken pains to make the guest experience great. One caveat, the stairs to the top are quite a hike, so be ready and plan your days well. There is the buzzing of bikes and cars and noises of the city through the skylight, but be aware that this is the case in any lively area of Paris! Here it is not bad.
Nicolai greeted me and helped me with my bags up the stairs. He was helpful to a degree that is exceedingly rare. It is a wonderful thing to be looked after in a foreign country after one arrives tired and potentially very lost! Many beautiful surprises were in store for me at the apartment, and I couldn’t help but feel very grateful to Nicolai for his consideration. This is what made the stay far worth it for me.
Highly recommend the route that Nicolai recommends to get to the Eiffel tower. Rue des Belles Feuilles I believe. It is a beautiful street. The Monoprix there is a very high quality/value grocery store. Nicolai’s suggestions were very good, and he is happy to offer directions and advice. I would always recommend taking local advice in Paris, even in a time of Tripadvisor and smartphones. Take your time and do things slowly. Ask for a tiny plan de Paris (metro map) at the metro, and find your way. You will see so much more. This is part of the fun, wandering through the streets. Be the flaneur! Enjoy
