This is an excellent place to stay for those who want a chance to experience a Parisian's Paris. At the same time, it is right across the street from the metro giving you easy access to the entire city. The street itself has lots of amenities, several cafe's, a good bakery, a nice take out place for Chinese food, and a small grocery store. Across the river it is a ten minute walk to the quiet and large Parc de Bercy, on the other side of which is an area full of shops and restaurants in what were once the warehouses for many of the major vintners of France. The apartment is very comfortable and spacious, although the room with the shower and sink is a bit tight. The kitchen in contrast is quite spacious and fully equipped. It is on the fourth floor keeping street noise at a minimum and the neighbors were very quiet during my stay. The sole problem was the router for the WIFI failed and that was a little inconvenient, but Nadia made up for that and to be honest who wants to spend time on the Internet when you can be exploring Paris. I would definitely plan to stay here again on a future trip to Paris.
