An arty charm gives a welcoming feel to Marie-Odile's apartment, which is well situated in a safe and very-French part of Paris. Each item in the apartment, from the antiques to the artworks, has a story. We felt comfortable and relaxed in our own little corner of Paris; from the apartment, the metro, shops and restaurants, and the Jardin des Plantes are only a couple of minutes away. The river and the Batobus is about a 15-20 minute walk through gardens, while Gare d'Austerlitz (which takes you to Gare du Nord and Versailles) is about the same. We loved our stay in both the area and the apartment. Marie-Odile is a lovely host, with plenty of information about the area. Thank you, Marie-Odile.
We would have loved another pillow each on the bed (which was on the firm side) and softer towels, and we felt that the kitchen equipment - utensils and cooking ware - could do with updating. But these are only minor things and we'd highly recommend this to anyone wanting a stay with a really French feel.
