The apartment is located close to many restaurants and shops. It also has the advantages of being on the ground floor facing a garden of a former cloisters, so it is off the street and quiet, and having air conditioning, which is not usual in Paris. I would recommend it for a couple spending a weekend in Paris and looking forward to evenings out. It is 30+ minutes by Metro to most tourist sights but is right around the corner a Metro stop, grocery shopping, an excellent bakery and charcuterie.
Maxime was an attentive and responsive host, but we cannot recommend the flat for either children (ours is seven and careful) or for a stay beyond a few days. We rented for three weeks and because of the lack of storage for our things (most is padlocked) we felt quite cramped with two adults and a child in the apartment. The abundance of delicate and antique items throughout the flat unfortunately contributed to our sense that we could not truly settle in without caution. I’ve raised our other issues privately with the host.
