This was an outstanding apartment. It was very comfortable for 5 people, in a pleasant part of the city with many good to very good quality restaurants, coffee shops and bakeries around. It was a short walk to 2 different Metro lines, providing easy access to the city center, excellent shopping and all the major tourist attractions. One of the two best aspects were the Aligre farmers market, which was just outside the front door, and from which we purchased delicious fresh fruit, cheeses and charcuterie. The topper was how amazingly quiet the apartment was at night, rarely found aim the center of a large city. I should also mention that our host was extremely responsive to our needs and questions. I cannot give a higher recommendation.
