Our family of four had a delightful 5-night stay in this perfectly located and well-equipped apartment in the heart of Paris. Claude met us exactly when he said he would, so check in was easy. We had only one flight of stairs to navigate, slightly narrow, but as long as you turn on the hallway light, no problem. The building itself is quite old but the apartment is complete modern and clean. The kitchen was well-equipped - helpful for preparing breakfast or bringing back some food if you're not doing restaurants for every meal every day. The living room has two comfortable fold-out beds, and even when they were both open, our two adult sons were able to share the space without problem. The bedroom is smaller but also comfortable. Worth noting that the bedroom has no windows to the outdoors, but it does have some high windows that allow light from the living room. Also worth noting, the bathroom is only accessible through the bedroom. While everything with the apartment is excellent, the true perfection is the location. Without even crossing a major street, you can walk to multiple restaurants, bars, and grocery stores. There are charming and busy, pedestrian-only streets nearby that seem not entirely focused on and full of tourists (compared to some of the street life closer to the Pompidou Center, Notre Dame, etc. There is a metro station just across one major street, and if you consider 30 minutes to be walking distance, you're walking distance to Montmartre, the Seine, the Pompidou, Notre Dame and the Sainte Chapelle, the Louvre, Musée D'Orsay, and tons of restaurants, nightlife, and shopping. With the living room window open, the sounds of the city are definitely audible, but the apartment is on a small street and the noise is never too much, considering the location. In the later part of the evening and into the morning, it was surprisingly quiet. Nothing more to say - everything we could have hoped for in Paris!
