Stephanie and Juan Carlos' apartment was simply lovely - comfortable, quirky decor and spacious. The location is superb for both walking to Ile de la Cite, the 5th and 6th arrondissements, and the shopping in the Marais district. The location is also nice and quiet given its superb central location, and is a great classic Parisian building with modern decor.
Stephanie gave us some good advice on where to go in the area and so we didn't need to consult the books which she had kindly left out.
We had a stroll to Place Sainte-Catherine as Stephanie suggested and found a lovely bistro for classic Salade Parisienne, french onion soup and wine, then L'entrecote Saint Germain on the Saturday. Wrapped up with amazing (fairly pricey, but worth it!) pastries and tea at Carette on Place des Vosges as also recommended by Stephanie, a real treat a stones throw from the apartment.
Thoughtful to allow access to Netflix account for a chilled out evening, and a well provisioned kitchen made self-catering easy for when we didn't eat out.
Great bathroom for relaxing bath and comfortable beds for great night's sleep.
Finally thanks for recommendations for bread ("croquant") and best croissants EVER at Boulangerie St Antoine.
We would definitely use again and recommend to friends.
Thanks very much!
