Charming flat in a hopping neighborhood. Absolutely exquisite furnishings and decor. You leave a crowded & dirty street for the idyllic quiet of a cobblestone courtyard and just....exhale. Because the apartment is built into the attic of an 18th century building (think: sloped ceilings, small doorways, exposed heavy beams) it just adds to the experience of Paris living. Plenty of space and light. Travelers will want to be completely comfortable going up and down 4 flights of stairs (93 steps each way--our kids counted!) The surrounding neighborhood is super hipster, with some restaurants and TONS of bars. Zelia's mother-in-law greeted us at arrival and left us maps and directions to everything. She was awesome. We could get anywhere in the city from the Bastille metro just a few blocks away. If traveling with very young children, be aware the flat is full of gorgeous and expensive furnishings, lights & rugs, each with a named Euro replacement cost if broken or damaged. Highly recommend this flat--our visit was magical.
