This was a PERFECT place to stay. We were located in a wonderful area - tons of restaurants and bars, and everyone is very friendly. We weren't able to meet Anaïs unfortunately, but we interacted with many people in restaurants and shops on the block and made many great friends (Gael in the restaurant/bar next door is incredible, definitely speak with him if you get a chance!) the metro is very close, as are most of the major attractions in Paris. The only place we took the metro to in Paris was the Eiffel Tower, the Luxembourg Gardens, and the clear market at Saint Ouen, everything else is very much within walking distance. And the apartment itself is stunning - pictures don't do it justice! I admit the stairs were a bit of a struggle (especially if you've been walking around all day!) but the view is worth it and there's SO much space, and it's very bright and open. Spent a lot of time on the balcony. Anaïs is also a fantastic host, very accommodating in letting us check in early and flexible with checkout. She even left us a bottle of rosé in the fridge and helped us find a store that sells outlet adapters when ours stopped working. Would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone! Can't thank Anaïs enough for helping in my first trip to Paris.
