I stayed at this apartment for three weeks, and it was a great place to settle in. It was spacious, EXTREMELY quiet, had great beds, a well-stocked kitchen with seemingly new appliances, and a good shower. It was also very close to a metro station. Sonia was a great host. She'd check in occasionally just to be sure everything was going well, which I appreciated. The apartment is not in the most picturesque part of Paris, but I loved that it felt like a neighborhood rather than a tourist attraction. Walk down the street and you'll pass multiple bakeries, a cheese store, an organic fruit and vegetable store, a wine shop, a butcher, a pharmacy, etc. Anything you might need. (Ther's a supermarket close by too.) Just one thing to note: if you're someone who needs sunlight streaming in your window, the apartment never gets direct sunlight because it's on the ground floor off of a narrow courtyard. This was a non-issue to me, but figured I'd mention it in case that's important to others. Truly a great place to stay!!
