We had three nights at the apartment and it was (almost) perfect for us. It is very quiet, on the first floor so not too many stairs to navigate with heavy bags, and in a good area close to 2 metro stops and plenty of cafes. It's a lovely walk into the Marias area and there's a pretty square close by.

The only drawback is that the apartment does not have an outlook and is quite dark. If you are looking for a view of Paris from every window, forget it. But for us it didn't matter as we weren't in the apartment much.

The apartment is perfect for a family with two children as there are two single beds in the second bedroom and for Paris standards it is quite big. Beds comfortable, linen new and everything very clean. The only annoying thing was that although Benoit gave us a few network passwords, we couldn't connect to wifi.

One last thing- ask Benoit to write down the code for the security door as he told it to us in very good English (but with accent) and we thought one digit was a number but was actually a letter. Lucky a neighbour came to open the door for us!

Enjoy your stay!
