The apartment is private and quiet and also in the center of a busy neighborhood with excellent transportation connections. I traveled to Paris for a work trip and spent days researching in libraries and archives, and working online with US colleagues several evenings. Terrific, cozy space for working and resting. Emmanuelle is delightful and is so helpful with information about getting around and neighborhood spots. Check-in and check-out was the easiest that I have ever had in a Paris apartment. Excellent value and I can't wait to go back!
