Guillaume’s place on Rue Orfila is about as authentic as a Parisian stay can be. The apartment is a perfect space for a family, group, or individual looking for a nice space, easy access, a vibrant neighborhood, and many cafe/restaurant options. If you want a new, hotel-quality experience, go elsewhere. If you are seeking a residence where you can shop/eat locally, prepare your own meals or pop around the corner for a glass or wine or lunch/dinner, or walk a few blocks to the metro to get anywhere in the city, this is hebllace for you. As this residence is also on a ground floor, it would also be a good choice for someone with a mobility impairment. One final note - we were in Paris during one of the hottest weeks in history. Given it ground floor, and slightly below-ground location, the apartment stayed quite comfortable even when it was nearly 100 degrees outside. We will definitely come back to Guillaume’s place near Pere Lachaise again.
