Hippo&Coco's apartment was the perfect spot from which to explore Paris! The apartment is ideally situated just a block and a half from a metro as well as few bus lines and from a lovely street full of food shops and cafes. In addition, you can easily walk to most of Paris's main sights from the apartment (I myself rarely used the metro and was able to walk almost everywhere I wanted to go). As other reviewers have noted and Hippo&Coco are very upfront about, the apartment is on the 6th floor with no elevator and quite small (definitely only enough room for one person as they mention) so you have to be willing and able to walk/climb but if you're looking for an affordable, well-located, and charmingly decorated Paris apartment, you won't find a better place than this! Plus the view down Rue de Lafayette is quite spectacular! Coco was also an incredible host - she met me as soon as I arrived to show me the apartment and stayed to make sure I was comfortable with everything from locking/unlocking the door to finding kitchen items. They also have a great collection of books about Paris at the apartment which are super fun to read while you consider where to explore next! I would absolutely recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Paris!
