Sandrine's charming apartment is huge, comfortable, and centrally located to get around Paris. Yes, it's truly in the heart of the city. Exit from the front door, and you're in the Bastille. Exit the back way, you're in the Marais, and a short walk to Place des Vosges. There are two Metro stations, each one block from the apartment. So easy to navigate the city from this arrondissement. One block away, on Beaumarchais, you'll find a Franprix, and tons of brassieres, and boulangeries. So, you can easily eat out or eat in. You'll never go hungry in Paris! Also there's an ATM nearby. The size of the living room is incredibly generous, and was the perfect place to come home to after a long day of site seeing. The eat-in kitchen is also big, and fully stocked with everything you'll need for your stay. I visited with my two adult children for two weeks so having the three bedrooms was waaaaay better than all of us sharing a hotel room with two queen-size beds. I highly recommend Sandrine's apartment, especially for a long stay. Bon Chance!
