What an incredible experience traveling to Europe for the first time In March 2019. Part of this was staying at John and Caroline apartment and living like a REAL Parisian. The bed was extremely comfortable, apartment very quite ( we loved opening up the window every night to hear the sounds of Paris float in). The wooden beams on the ceiling gave this place an extra allure so different than what we experience in the States. The location was wonderful, within 1 hour or less walk of all the major sites (Louvre, Notre Dame, Seine River). So many restaurants right outside your front door or within 10 minute walk. A lively Night life scene with restaurants and bars a couple of blocks away on Rue de Lappe. Our favorite restaurants was right next door Le Chalet Savoyard and Le Bistrot du Peintre. 3 Metro lines within a few minutes walk away and bus lines right out side your door. They even let us check in early as our flight arrived pretty early in the morning. I would highly recommend this place to anyone, however it is four flights up in an apartment building with no elevator so if you cannot manage this, it may not work out for you. Other than that, this place is superb!!!!!!!
