This charming apartment is a one of a kind experience in Paris, and we loved it. It's even better than it looks in the photographs. It's on the top floor of a gorgeous apartment complex, one of those classic old buildings with ornamental balconies. The apartment has been modernised in every practical sense, dishwasher etc, without in any way disturbing the character. It's full of antique curios and artwork, it's like an Aladdin's cave, and the architectural features are gorgeous. The owners advised us the building is old, so you need to be patient with the hot water as it takes a few minutes, but we weren't bothered at all. If you are looking for soulless modernity, this is not the apartment for you. If you want to experience the charm of Paris in comfort, you can't beat it.
It has a lift which is brilliant with heavy suitcases. The area itself is lovely. Close to metro, great restaurants, close to the centre, and a wonderful 20 minute walk to the river. Perfect for our stay. We highly recommend.
