An unexpected change of plans led to us finding Krystyna's place, and our Paris trip was made all the more memorable as a result. This apartment is idyllic for a small family like ours, but further made so by the attentive preparations our hostess made before our arrival: she set up a crib for the baby and a play area for the toddler with wonderful toys and books. She truly went to great lengths to make us comfortable, and even had extras like a baby beanbag and a stroller lock. The apartment is blissful: impeccable design and use of space. Every amenity a person could need including a washer and dryer, dishwasher, and top of the line heating system with gorgeous radiators. Full kitchen with gas stove. Books and windows everywhere! If you can bear to leave the flat, the neighborhood outside is fantastic: vibrant with both people and endless shopping opportunities as well as truly fantastic restaurants. We had been staying in the 16eme and coming to the 11eme with such a welcome surprise and change - you will adore the Bastille area, no matter what the purpose of your trip. I hope Krystyna continues to list her apartment because it would be a pleasure to return one day. Perfect romantic spot for a couple, as well.
