Our family of five had the most wonderful week in Paris, and Arianne's place was an amazing homebase for visiting everything. The Metro station is on your doorstep, giving you access to all of Paris and beyond. It is a bustling neighborhood, but the apartment is on a high floor so the street sounds did not bother us. (There is no elevator, so be ready to walk up a few flights of stairs.) The apartment is huge by Paris standards, with three comfortable bedrooms (with big beds) and two full bathrooms. The downstairs shower is a little snug, but it is clean with modern fixtures and plenty of hot water. The apartment was filled with anything we could need. It was a short walk to amazing shopping, restaurants and sights. Arianne was very easy to coordinate with about our arrival and gave us a good local bistro suggestion for our first night. We highly recommend Arianne's place for a family trip to Paris!
