This apartment, located in the 4th arrondissement, is between Bastille and St. Paul stations. It is only a 2 minute walk to each. The apartment is located just one street away from the Victor Hugo Square (some of the richest realestate in all of Paris) The square has fountains and is a lovely place to have a picnic tea on warm summer evenings as the apartment doesn't have ducted or wall air con. There are many lovely boutique shops along the street which we only explored on our last day and wished we had went earlier. There are a few fruit and veg shops across the road and a supermarket nearby. There are also patisseries and brasseries close by so finding something to eat is never a problem. We felt very safe entering and leaving the 1st floor apartment. The door closes securely and their is only one flight of stairs to climb to the apartment. Paris gets hot during the summer months. There are 2 things the French don't do well - air conditioning and roundabouts! There is a mobile air con provided that requires the window to be left open so the plastic conduit can hang out. We did not use this as the traffic noise was too loud. We kept the curtains closed during the day and this keep the apartment cooler. The two electric floor fans left running overnight kept us cool enough to sleep. The apartment is very well appointed and furnished with an eclectic mix of antiques, french and modern furniture. There is lots of storage in the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. The fridge is medium size and the freezer compartment is small. The curtains are full blackout so it is easy to sleep in (it gets light in Paris at 4:30am) Sauveur and Paulo are excellent to communicate with and returned emails promptly. Paulo gave us a grand tour of the apartment and answered all our questions and was very helpful. Sauveur was very flexible and even allowed us to keep our suitcases in the apartment till 4pm. There were 4 adults in our party. Two slept in the bedroom and two in the loungeroom. The apartment was a comfortable size for 4 adults. We would recommend this apartment for your Paris stay and we would definitely stay here again.
