Lara was at the apartment waiting for us for when arrived from the metro. Crossing the bridge from the metro to the apartment gave us an amazing view of the Eiffel Tower and set the tone for a wonderful stay in Paris. The apartment was clean and neat. It was perfect for our two young daughters, my teenage sister (who loved her own space in the loft), my husband and me. Five people fit comfortably. All the appliances worked well and the neighborhood was fantastic for finding small grocery stores and bakeries. One of our favorite experiences was visiting the restaurant across the street: Bistro Bleriot. The owner offered to prepare special meals for our kids and the food was delicious. Having children in Paris is difficult, especially if it's not well-planned. But the apartment and the neighborhood offered the relaxation we needed after trekking the expanse of Paris.
