The apartment is such a gem, it has lovely character, very practical even for a young family and it is in such a fabulous location for exploring Paris! I would highly recommend it to soak up the unique vibe of this area. It's fun and friendly and doesn't stop. There is such a concentration of restaurants in the area you are simply spoiled for choice. Not to mention patisseries, chocolate shops, gelato, bottleshops, bars, and even theatres.
Mathilde was also a wonderful host, offering to assist us in any way she could, which we graciously accepted her services for laundry and transport reservations.
Thanks Mathilde and Jean-Pierre for making our time in Paris so memorable.
