This sunlit, airy apartment was more delightful than I can fully express. It was a relief to move here from a hotel in the tourist center of the city and find myself in what felt more truly Paris. The metro stop is steps from the front gate and there is good sightseeing nearby (at Stephane’s suggestion, I watched the sunset over the Eiffel Tower from Bellevue Park—wow). But it has more of a neighborhood feel: for example the avenue out front hosts a farmers market some days. As for the apartment itself, the sofa bed is very comfortable. The whole place was immaculate. Linens and towels were good quality. Kitchen had just what I needed to keep from overspending in cafes or subsisting on baguettes (however tempting). But there is nothing cluttery or superfluous here. Be warned that it is a real climb to the fifth floor (although the stairs were MUCH easier after I realized the white buttons on the landing walls are light switches, not doorbells!).
