This is a great place for a Paris break, and the big bonus is that you access the 5th floor apartment via a lift. The area and the room are very quiet (the room looks out onto a courtyard), but close by are good restaurants, shops and cafes. I was concerned that it was ‘way out in the 17ème” but it’s easy walking distance to a couple of Metro stations and some bus lines, plus the regional station Gare St Lazar. The area feels very safe at night and the security for the apartment is excellent. The apartment is clean, light and spacious. We also appreciated the washing machine & washing powder as we arrived after a road trip, and that some food basics are supplied such as salt and oil. A very minor problem was dealt with quickly by Matthieu. Highly recommended and we hope to stay again.
