This apartment is wonderful! I can't recommend it enough. It's very spacious. The bedrooms are big and the bathroom is fantastic. The shower is amazing. Great water pressure and super hot water. There's a washing machine, too, which was great. No dryer but there's a drying rack. And there's a hair dryer! The apartment doesn't have AC but the huge windows open and the breeze is lovely. There are also fans. The espresso machine is great and the fridge holds a good bit. The location is great - the Ledru Rollin metro stop is right outside and the Bastille stop is a quick walk away. The apartment building has a courtyard that's beautiful and when you walk through the gated door from the street, it's instantly quiet. The area is really fun - a younger crowd. There's a Monoprix half a block away for groceries. We walked to the marche d' aligre market and it was magical. So much beautiful produce and a flea market. The promenade plantee is really close and a beautiful walk. It's a former rail line made into a walking path. Our favorite restaurants in the neighborhood were A La Biche Au Bois (tiny place with great classic french food) and East Momma (amazing Italian food). Patrick was lovely to email with and his friend Cedric helped us check in and was SO nice and helpful! Stay here!
