I stayed in this apartment for 6 months as a student on the Erasmus exchange, and it was perfect to get an authentic experience of life in Paris. The location is ideal, in the centre of traditional Haussmannian Paris and within walking distance of all the tourist spots. Not only that, but the apartment is right beside two metro stations (Le Peletier for line 7 and Richelieu-Drouot for lines 8 and 9) for easy travel throughout Paris. Nearby is the Rue des Martyrs, which is a charming street lined with bakeries, cheese shops, greengrocers, butchers, cafes and restaurants etc. where I went to do my grocery shopping and which offered high quality French produce. The apartment is tastefully decorated and neutral to suit any person who may stay there, and has a beautiful balcony with a stunning view. It was even a joy for me to sit and study with a view like that! The building itself is safe, with a friendly gardien d'immeuble who always greeted me with a smile when I entered. The lift is also useful for when I moved in/out with all my stuff. The apartment is beside a Bd Haussmann, a busy but elegant tree-lined boulevard, which as a girl living alone in the city made me feel safe because there were always people around when I was walking back so I never felt scared, even if I was coming back late from university. Yufeng was a friendly and helpful host who replied promptly to my messages and quickly resolved any problems that came up. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!
