Martin provides a spacious apartment by Parisian standards, with a living space and kitchen in one, a small corridor with a neat bathroom off to the left and a just-big-enough bedroom on the end. The double bed is comfortable and the furnishings adequate. The kitchen is well equipped with an oven and gas cooktop, though no dishwasher. We don’t mind doing the dishes, but it doesn’t leave your dishes very clean, unfortunately! Martin generously provided all the coffee for us to drink over a 12 day period, and I must say an absolute selling point for the location of this apartment is the boulangerie/pâtissier downstairs. They are the type that are always busy because of their high quality products, and the six flights of stairs to get home provide a nice little bit of incidental exercise to counter the croissants. The apartment is also in between two prime métro lines, Plaisance and Alésia, and a nice albeit long-ish walk to Jardin de Luxembourg. Martin was contactable at all times and provided some helpful information for the area. I would recommend this spot for a couple who only need to use one room (there is a sofa-bed which we slept on to give our son the bedroom) as it’s too bright for sleeping with all the windows in the space. Thank you for having us, Martin!
