This apartment has so much going for it that covering it all in one review isn’t really possible. Here’s the nutshell version: the apartment is outrageously beautiful, spacious, comfortable, and perfectly positioned for taking in the city from above. Since it occupies both top floors of the building, you get what is basically a 360 degree view of Paris. Now that’s the apartment.
But what really got us about the apartment is its proximity to everyday Parisian life. We stayed for two weeks and only ate outside of a three block radius of the apartment a few times. There’s just no reason to go much further. You can put away Yelp and TripAdvisor, every bistro and cafe is about as good as Paris makes them. Best of all, there are no tourists or tourist attractions in the area, so you can live life as Parisian people do.
Finally, when you do want to explore, there’s no tourist meat grinder like there is near the Eiffel Tower or The Louvre. Everything that is actually worth seeing is within walking distance. This is one of if not the best ways on AirBNB to experience the actual city of Paris.
