Where do I begin? The Cocotte apartment could not have been more perfect!! We did not have the pleasure of meeting Ludovic but Miguel came to meet us upon our arrival and gave us an excellent orientation of the apartment. The pictures are very accurate and reflect the charm of the apartment. The kitchen is very functional and modern, the bathroom is roomy and beautifully tiled, the washing machine and dryer combo was very convenient and helpful, the bed was comfortable, and the apartment is very private and quite in a safe and wonderful neighborhood. (Just be aware that the entrance to the second bedroom is through the door of the first bedroom.)

The neighborhood is amazing and so centrally located that you can walk to the Louvre, Notre Dame, or Galerie Lafayette without any problem. If you do not want to walk, just around the corner on a the great street of Etienne Marcel is a taxi stand and a metro down the street.

What can I say about Rue Montogueil - one of the most wonderful streets in Paris - that is a half a block from 62 Rue Tiquetonne. The pedestrians walk freely down this marvelous street that has everything you could possible need, from the practical - grocery stores, pharmacy, butcher, bakery, deli, fromage, produce, florist to the sublime, most delicious patissiers, candy, and liquor stores - some dating back to the 1700s. If that were not enough, Rue Montogueil has delicious restaurants such as La Grille Montogueil or Little Italy and on Rue Tiquetonne Le Lezard Cafe or the sweet Le Cafe for a quick bite or treat of Berthillon's ice cream!

I can only hope that the apartment is available the next time we go to Paris!
