This was our first time in Paris & I’m so glad my husband insisted on the 2nd Arrondissement! Fiona’s apartment is in the absolute best location with cafes, shops, produce markets & grocery stores so close you can literally run out to get what you need!! The area is quite clean compared to others we saw. There is an amazing creperie 2 doors from the apartment building door! There is yet another at the end of the street!
The apartment is super quiet with the exception of the low roar of the Metro in the early hours of the morning. About 9:00 am there was loud noises from some possible construction in another apartment but this didn’t take away from how awesome the apartment is.
An important thing to note is that the water heater is small & allows for 2 showers but only that & not washing dishes in the same morning! We found this out the hard way so a warning of this would have been nice.
The mattress is firm yet comfortable.
The washer/dryer is quite handy when you’ve packed light and the clothes dried quite nicely despite Fiona’s warning otherwise. It would be helpful to have washer instructions handy!
Thanks for a lovely stay in Paris Fiona!
