This incredible apartment is ideal for a place to relax, and enjoy Paris. Rooms are larger than appear in pictures, and the location could not be better. Within 2-3 short blocks, you will find over 4 of the following... grocery stores, bakeries, cheese, wine, candy, and certainly every kind of dining you can imagine., plus 2 Metro stops within 2 blocks. The codes to enter the apartment are a great safety thing, but you will always feel safe and comfortable in the entire area at any time, day or evening. The stairs are tough, and if you struggle with walking up stairs, consider that, but you will not find a better place inside or out. All the kitchen tools and appliances you need to cook, and enjoy. Even though located on the beautiful and busy Rue Des Abbesses, the apartment is quiet and comfortable in every way. We were a group of 6, my wife and I had our adult daughter and son in law, plus our college aged grandsons (all of them over 6'5") and can again say...we'd do it again. Thanks Christelle for a fun 10 day stay.
