We had a wonderful time staying at Melanie’s place with my husband, mum and 1 year old. The area was fantastic with lots of shops, bars and restaurants to explore. There are plenty of Metro stations within a few minute walk and you could even walk all the way to the centre of Paris very easily. The apartment has a lovely view over the street and we weren’t bothered by the noise as you are a few floors up and don’t hear too much. The apartment is up some steep stairs which my mum found a bit difficult but we managed with the baby’s stroller and bags. There were lots of toys for our son to play with and although very stylish, clean and tidy we didn’t feel we had to be too precious and we’re able to relax and let him toddle around. It was really big and light and I would definitely stay here again. My mum had an uncomfortable night in the childrens single bed and ended up on the sofa bed the second night which was better so it’s not a great apartment for lots of adults but perfect for a family.
