We loved staying in Marie’s apartment for a week in early December. It was the perfect size with the bedroom separate from the dining/living/kitchen area. It was very comfortable. The apartment has two large windows which overlook the bustling Place Edmond Rostand and the Jardín du Luxembourg—just beautiful.
The neighborhood is really fun. There are a lot of cafes and shops nearby and not so many tourists which makes it feel like you’re living in your own Paris apartment. I really liked the feel of the neighborhood. On the last night we found a small jazz club a block away (Le Petit Journal) and had a wonderful time with local residents and musicians.
Also, there were many, many things to see and do within easy walking distance (2-3K). We enjoyed walking through various neighborhoods to get to the museums and sites in central Paris. The metro and train system is also very easy to navigate and goes everywhere. (We took Uber back to the apartment if we were out late at night.)
Access from the airport was very simple. The RER B train from CDG has a stop 75 meters away! Marie let us check in early (9:00) which was great since our flight from the US arrived at 6:30. We were able to take a quick nap and be luggage-free the first day (Thanks, Marie!).
Check-in was simple. The instructions are clear and Marie had a friend meet us promptly. Marie lives next door in case you have any questions or issues that need to be addressed (we didn’t).
All in all, it was the perfect place for us to stay for our Parisian vacation. We will definitely stay there again on our next visit.
