We loved our stay in this apartment. There were three adults but we never felt cramped. It is a small, cozy space though and the shower and separate water closet are not for the claustrophobic. We stayed for a week and it was perfect for us.
The location was amazing for us. It is not close to major tourist areas, but is located close to two major metro stations. We took Uber in and out from the airport, and were able to get anywhere else on the train. The 13th arrondissement is a more “local” feel to the city - if you’re looking to be close to tourist areas this is not the place for you. There are a couple of small grocery stores close by, many atms, and we visited at least five boulangeries within a few blocks to get our daily baguette and some pastries.
Other than groceries we didn’t stop in any of the local shops. There is a restaurant called La Manufacture across the street. This feels like a “locals” spot and everything we ate was excellent.
The view from the corner window is pretty spectacular. It’s not an actual balcony, but you can keep the windows open if the weather is nice. Though not close, you can see the Eiffel Tower quite well, especially when it sparkles on the hour! You can also see Sacre-Couer, and Notre Dame in the distance.
Overall it was an excellent choice for us to experience being in Paris. Our week seemed to go by in a flash!
