Would highly recommend Stephane's apartment. If you are going to roam around town using a metro, it is literally one step away from the metro station that has good access everywhere. In terms of location, it's excellent- with a big supermarket nearby and a famous boulangerie nearby, you are all equipped. The apartment was clean, quite spacious and had complete amenities. Although the steps leading to the apt was narrow and small, I think it was undergoing construction so I think this situation will be slightly better. As it is near a busy street and on the second floor, there is some noise but it was ok. We were given a warm welcome with a bottle of red wine, and Stephane was very kind as to find a solution and help us store alot of luggages in his shop as we had to check out at 10 am and had a late flight out of Paris. Nothing but great experience staying at the apartment.
