We have lived in Paris and knew that the location of this apartment was ideal. My expectations were high, but were surpassed by the stylie spaciousness of the apartment. We could not have been more pleased with our lodging for four nights. Communication with Veronique both before and throughout our stay was very easy. Everything we needed was at our fingertips in the efficiently organized and well-stocked space. The very comfortable (and quiet) bedroom is small, but not smaller than many hotel rooms in Paris. But, that means that luggage needs to be kept in the living room area, where there is lots of room. And although I know that it is very “authentique” for a centuries-old building not to have a lift, anyone staying here needs to be prepared to climb 80 stairs with luggage on arrival and whenever returning to the apartment. I agree with the reviewer who said this is going to very quickly become a highly sought after choice in Paris.
